General Description
The HMC414MS8G & HMC414MS8GE are high efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC Power amplifiers which operate
between 2.2 and 2.8 GHz. The amplifier is packaged
in a low cost, surface mount 8 leaded package with
an exposed base for improved RF and thermal performance. With a minimum of external components,
the amplifier provides 20 dB of gain, +30 dBm of saturated power at 32% PAE from a +5V supply voltage.
The amplifier can also operate with a 3.6V supply. Vpd
can be used for full power down or RF output power/
current control.
Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, As a Function of Vs, Vpd = 3.6V
Vs = 3.6V
Vs = 5V

3, 4
RFOUT
RF output and DC bias for the output stage.

GND
Ground: Backside of package has exposed metal ground slug that must be
connected to ground thru a short path. Vias under the device are required.
6, 8
Vpd1, Vpd2
Power control pin. For maximum power, this pin should be connected to
3.6V. For 5V operation, a dropping resistor is required. A higher voltage is
not recommended. For lower idle current, this voltage can be reduced.
7
Vcc
Power supply voltage for the first amplifier stage. An external bypass
capacitor of 330 pF is required as shown in the application schematic.

The circuit board used in the final 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.
