Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC450QS16G & HMC450QS16GE are high
efficiency GaAs InGaP HBT Medium Power MMIC
amplifiers operating between 800 and 1000 MHz.
The amplifier is packaged in a low cost, surface
mount 16 lead package and offers the same pinout
and functionality as the higher band HMC413QS16G
1.6-2.3 GHz PA. With a minimum of external
components, the amplifier provides 26 dB of gain,
+40 dBm OIP3 and +28.5 dBm of saturated power
from a +5.0V supply voltage. The integrated power
control (Vpd) can be used for full power down or RF
output power/current control. The combination of high
gain and high output IP3 make the HMC450QS16G
& HMC450QS16GE ideal linear drivers for Cellular,
PCS & 3G applications.
