Functional Diagram
General Description
The hmc633 is a gaAs mmic phemT driver
Amplifier die which operates between 5 and 17 ghz.
The amplifier provides up to 31 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 hmc633 is an ideal driver amplifier for
microwave radio applications from 5 to 17 ghz, and
may also be biased at +5v, 130 mA to provide 2 db
lower gain with improved pAe. The hmc633 amplifier
i/o’s are dc blocked and internally matched to 50
ohms facilitating easy integration into multi-chip-
modules (mcms). All data is taken with die connected
at input and output rf ports via one 1 mil wedge bond
with minimal length of 0.31 mm (12 mils).
