Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC633LC4 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Driver
Amplifier in a leadless 4x4 mm ceramic surface mount
package which operates between 5.5 and 17 GHz.
The amplifier provides up to 30 dB of gain, +30 dBm
Output IP3, and +23 dBm of output power at 1 dB
gain compression, while requiring 180 mA from a +5V
supply. The HMC633LC4 is an ideal driver amplifier
for microwave radio applications from 5.5 to 17 GHz
and may be biased at +5V, 130 mA to provide 2 dB
lower gain with improved PAE. The amplifier’s I/Os are
DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms with no external
matching required.
