Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC376LP3 & HMC376LP3E 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 0.7 dB noise figure,
15 dB gain and +36 dBm output IP3 from a single
supply of +5V. The HMC376LP3(E) feature an
externally adjustable supply current which allows the
designer to tailor the linearity performance of the LNA
for each application. For applications which require
improved noise figure, please see the HMC617LP3(E).
