General Description
Functional Diagram
The HMC486LP5(E) is a high dynamic range GaAs
pHEMT MMIC 2 Watt Power Amplifier housed in a
leadless 5x5 mm surface mount packages. Operating
from 7 to 9 GHz, the amplifier provides 22 dB of gain,
+33 dBm of saturated power and 20% PAE from a
+7V supply voltage. Output IP3 is +40 dBm typical.
The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to
50 Ohms for ease of use. The HMC486LP5(E)
eliminate the need for wire bonding, allowing use of
surface mount manufacturing techniques.
Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vdd1, 2, 3, 4, 5 = +7V, Idd = 1300 mA*

[2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350.
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. Copper
filled vias under the device are recommended. The
evaluation board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is
available from Hittite upon request.
