HMC311ST89 / 311ST89E v01.0505 AMPLIFIERS - SMT 5 InGaP HBT GAIN BLOCK MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 6.0 GHz Designer’s Kit Available Typical Applications Features The HMC311ST89 / HMC311ST89E is an ideal RF/IF gain block or LO buffer amplifier for: P1dB Output Power: +15.5 dBm • Cellular / PCS / 3G Gain: 16 dB • Fixed Wireless & WLAN 50 Ohm I/O’s • CATV & Cable Modem Industry Standard SOT89 Package • Microwave Radio Included in the HMC-DK001 Designer’s Kit Functional Diagram General Description Output IP3: +31.5 dBm The HMC311ST89 & HMC311ST89E are GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC SMT DC to 6 GHz amplifiers. Packaged in an industry standard SOT89, the amplifier can be used as either a cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO of HMC mixers with up to +16.5 dBm output power. The HMC311ST89 & HMC311ST89E offer 16 dB of gain and an output IP3 of +31.5 dBm while requiring only 54 mA from a +5V supply. The Darlington feedback pair used results in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and yields excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias components.

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.
