General Description
The HMC372LP3 & HMC372LP3E are GaAs PHEMT
MMIC Low Noise Amplifiers that are ideal for GSM
& CDMA cellular basestation front-end receivers
operating between 700 and 1000 MHz. The amplifier
has been optimized to provide 1.0 dB noise figure, 15
dB gain and +34 dBm output IP3 from a single supply
of +5.0V @ 100 mA. Input and output return losses are
25 and 14 dB respectively with the LNA requiring only
four external components to optimize the RF Input
match, RF ground and DC bias. The HMC372LP3 &
HMC372LP3E share the same package and pinout
with the HMC356LP3 high IP3 LNA. A low cost,
leadless 3x3 mm (LP3) SMT QFN package houses
the low noise amplifier.
