APPLICATIONS Point to point radios Point to multipoint radios Military and space Test instrumentation GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC753 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), low noise, wideband amplifier housed in a leadless, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP. The amplifier operates between 1 GHz and 11 GHz, providing up to 16.5 dB of small signal gain at 1 GHz to 6 GHz, a 1.5 dB noise figure at 4 GHz (see Figure 10), and an output IP3 of 30 dBm at 1 GHz to 6 GHz, while requiring only 55 mA from a 5 V supply. Rev. E The P1dB output power of up to 18 dBm at 1 GHz to 6 GHz enables the low noise amplifier (LNA) to function as a local oscillator (LO) driver for balanced, I/Q, or image rejection mixers. The HMC753 also features I/Os that are dc blocked and internally matched to 50 Ω, making the device ideal for high capacity microwave radios or very small aperture terminal (VSAT) applications.

E | Page 8 of 13 Data Sheet HMC753 THEORY OF OPERATION The circuit architecture of the HMC753 wideband, low noise amplifier is shown in Figure 20. The HMC753 uses a single gain stage to form an amplifier with typical gain of 16.5 dB at 1 GHz to 6 GHz and 14 dB at the 6 GHz to 11 GHz frequency band. HMC753 Both RF input and RF output ports have on-chip dc block capacitors, which eliminates the need for external ac coupling capacitors. It is critical to supply very low inductance ground connections to the ground pins as well as to the backside exposed paddle. This ensures stable operation. RFOUT 13494-022 RFIN The input and output impedances are sufficiently stable over variations in temperature and supply voltage that no impedance matching compensation is required. Figure 20. Wideband Low Noise Amplifier Circuit Architecture The HMC753 has single-ended input and output ports whose impedances are nominally equal to 50 Ω over the frequency range of 1 GHz to 11 GHz. Consequently, the HMC753 can be directly inserted into a 50 Ω system with no impedance matching circuitry required. In addition, multiple HMC753 amplifiers can be cascaded back to back without the need of external matching circuitry. To achieve the best performance out of the HMC753 and not to damage the device, the recommended biasing sequence must be followed; see the Applications Information section for further details. Rev. E | Page 9 of 13 HMC753 Data Sheet APPLICATIONS INFORMATION BIASING PROCEDURES The HMC753 is a GaAs, MMIC, high electron mobility transistor (HEMT), low noise, wideband amplifier. The amplifier uses two field effect transistors (FETs) in series, source to drain. The basic schematic for a fundamental cell is shown in Figure 21. The recommended biasing procedure during power-up is as follows: VGG2 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. RFIN 6. VDD VGG1 13494-021 RFOUT Connect GND. Set VGG1 to −1 V. Set VDD to 5 V. Set VGG2 to 1.5 V. Increase VGG1 to achieve a typical quiescent current (IDQ) = 55 mA. Apply the RF signal. The recommended biasing procedure during power-down is as follows: Figure 21. Fundamental Cell Schematic All measurements for this device are taken using the evaluation printed circuit board (PCB) in its default configuration. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Turn off the RF signal. Decrease VGG1 to −1 V to achieve IDQ = 0 mA. Decrease VGG2 to 0 V. Decrease VDD to 0 V. Increase VGG1 to 0 V. The VDD = 5 V and IDQ = 55 mA bias conditions are the operating points recommended to optimize the overall performance. Unless otherwise noted, the data shown is taken using the recommended bias conditions. Operation of the HMC753 at different bias conditions may result in performance that differs from the Typical Performance Characteristics shown in the data sheet. Biasing the HMC753 for higher drain current typically results in higher P1dB and output IP3 at the expense of increased power consumption. Rev.
