HMC549MS8G / 549MS8GE v01.0106 AMPLIFIERS - SMT 5 DUAL OUTPUT LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 0.04 - 0.96 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC549MS8G / HMC549MS8GE is ideal for: Single-ended or Balanced Output High Output IP3: +27 dBm • DTV Receivers • Multi-Tuner Set Top Boxes Low Noise Figure: 3.5 dB Single Positive Supply: +5V • PVRs & Home Gateways 75 Ohm Input Functional Diagram General Description The HMC549MS8G & HMC549MS8GE are GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifiers that are ideal pre-amplifiers for CATV Set Top Box, Home Gateway, and Digital Television receivers operating between 40 and 960 MHz. This high dynamic range LNA has been optimized to provide 3.5 dB noise figure and +27 dBm output IP3 from a single supply of +5.0V @ 120 mA. The outputs of this LNA are extremely well balanced, and can be used to drive a differential input tuner with very high input IP2 requirements. This dual purpose LNA can also be used as an active splitter driving two single-ended input tuners. This LNA is housed in a RoHS compliant MSOP8G SMT package with exposed ground paddle.
