HMC263LP4E v01.0709 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS - SMT 8 GaAs MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 24 - 36 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC263LP4E is ideal for: Low Noise Figure: 2.2 dB • Millimeterwave Point-to-Point Radios High Gain: 20 dB • LMDS Single Positive Supply: +3V or +5V • VSAT DC Blocked RF I/Os • SATCOM No External Matching 24 Lead 4x4mm QFN Package: 16mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC263LP4E is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which covers the frequency range of 24 to 36 GHz and is housed in a leadless plastic SMT package. The HMC263LP4E utilizes a GaAs PHEMT process offering 20 dB gain from a single bias supply of + 3V @ 58 mA with a noise figure of 2.2 dB. The HMC263LP4E may be used in conjunction with HMC264LC3B or HMC265LM3 mixers to realize a millimeterwave system receiver. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms requiring no external components. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vdd = +3V Parameter Min. Frequency Range Gain 8-2 Typ. Max.

Signal lines should have 50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and package bottom should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
