InGaP HBT ½ WATT HIGH IP3
AMPLIFIER, 0.4 - 2.5 GHz
Typical Applications
Features
The HMC454ST89 / HMC454ST89E is ideal for
applications requiring a high dynamic range amplifier:
Output IP3: +40 to +42 dBm
• GSM, GPRS & EDGE
50% PAE @ +28 dBm Pout
• CDMA & W-CDMA
+17.5 dBm W-CDMA Channel Power@ -45 dBc ACP
• CATV/Cable Modem
Single +5V Supply
• Fixed Wireless & WLL
Industry Standard SOT89 Package
Gain: 12.5 dB @ 2150 MHz
AMPLIFIERS - LINEAR & POWER - SMT
Included in the HMC-DK002 Designer’s Kit
Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC454ST89 & HMC454ST89E are high dynamic
range GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor
(HBT) ½ watt MMIC amplifiers operating between 0.4
and 2.5 GHz. Packaged in a low cost industry standard
SOT89, the amplifier gain is typically 17.8 dB from 0.8
to 1.0 GHz and 12.5 dB from 1.8 to 2.2 GHz. Utilizing a
minimum number of external components and a single
+5V supply, the amplifier output IP3 can be optimized
to +40 dBm at 0.9 GHz or +42 dBm at 2.0 GHz. The
high output IP3 and PAE makes the HMC454ST89 an
ideal driver amplifier for Cellular/PCS/3G, WLL, ISM
and Fixed Wireless applications.

The circuit board used in this application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle 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.
