HMC716LP3 / 716LP3E v02.1009 Amplifiers - Low Noise - SMT 7 GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 3.1 - 3.9 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC716LP3(E) is ideal for: Noise Figure: 1 dB • Fixed Wireless and LTE/WiMAX/4G Gain: 18 dB • BTS & Infrastructure Output IP3: +33 dBm • Repeaters and Femtocells Single Supply: +3V to +5V • Public Safety Radio 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output • Access Points 16 Lead 3x3mm QFN Package: 9 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC716LP3(E) is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for fixed wireless and LTE/WiMAX/4G basestation front-end receivers operating between 3.1 and 3.9 GHz. The amplifier has been optimized to provide 1 dB noise figure, 18 dB gain and +33 dBm output IP3 from a single supply of +5V. Input and output return losses are excellent and the LNA requires minimal external matching and bias decoupling components. The HMC716LP3(E) can be biased with +3V to +5V and features an externally adjustable supply current which allows the designer to tailor the linearity performance of the LNA for each application. Electrical Specifications TA = +25 °C, Rbias = 820Ω for Vdd = 5V, Rbias = 47k Ω for Vdd = 3V [1] Parameter Vdd = +3V Min. Frequency Range Gain Typ. Vdd = +5V Max.
