HMC754S8GE v00.0409 GaAs HBT HIGH LINEARITY PUSH-PULL AMPLIFIER, 75 Ohm, DC - 1 GHz Amplifiers - Driver & Gain Block - SMT 8 Typical Applications Features The HMC754S8GE is ideal for: Output IP2: +78 dBm • CATV / Broadband Infrastructure High Gain: 14.5 dB • Test & Measurement Equipment High Output IP3: +38 dBm • Line Amps and Fiber Nodes 75 Ohm Impedance • Customer Premise Equipment Single Positive Supply: +5V Robust 1000V ESD, Class 1C SOIC-8 SMT Package Functional Diagram General Description The HMC754S8GE is a GaAs/InGaP HBT Dual Channel Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifier covering DC to 1 GHz. This versatile product contains two gain blocks, packaged in a single 8 lead plastic SOIC-8, for use with both amplifiers combined in push-pull configuration using external baluns to cancel out second order non-linearities and improve IP2 performance. In this configuration, the HMC754S8GE offers high gain, very low distortion & simple external matching. This high linearity amplifier consumes only 160mA from a single positive supply.
