HMC463LP5 / 463LP5E v08.0511 Amplifiers - Low Noise - SMT 7 GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AGC AMPLIFIER, 2 - 20 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC463LP5(E) is ideal for: Gain: 13 dB • Telecom Infrastructure Noise Figure: 2.8 dB @ 10 GHz • Microwave Radio & VSAT P1dB Output Power: +18 dBm @ 10 GHz • Military EW, ECM & C I Supply Voltage: +5V @ 60 mA • Test Instrumentation 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output • Fiber Optics 32 Lead 5 x 5 mm SMT Package: 25 mm² Functional Diagram General Description 3 The HMC463LP5(E) is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low Noise AGC Distributed Amplifier packaged in a leadless 5x5 mm surface mount package which operates between 2 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 13 dB of gain, 2.8 dB noise figure and 18 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring only 60 mA from a +5V supply. An optional gate bias (Vgg2) is provided to allow Adjustable Gain Control (AGC) of 8 dB typical. Gain flatness is excellent at ±0.5 dB from 6 - 18 GHz making the HMC463LP5(E) ideal for EW, ECM RADAR and test equipment applications. The HMC463LP5(E) LNA I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25 °C, Vdd = 5V, Idd = 60 mA* Parameter Min. Frequency Range Gain 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.
