Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC462 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise
Distributed Amplifier die which operates between 2
and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 15 dB of gain,
2.0 to 2.5 dB noise figure and +15 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring
only 63 mA from a single +5V supply. Gain flatness
is excellent at ±0.5 dB from 6 - 18 GHz making the
HMC462 ideal for EW, ECM and RADAR applica-
tions. The HMC462 requires a single supply of
+5V @ 63 mA and is the self-biased version of the
HMC463. The wideband amplifier I/Os are inter-
nally matched to 50 Ohms facilitating easy integra-
tion into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs). All data is
with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected
via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal
length 0.31mm (12 mils).
