The HMC396 die is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction
Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC DC to
8 GHz amplifier. This amplifier can be used as either
a cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO
of HMC mixers with up to +16 dBm output power. The
HMC396 offers 12 dB of gain and an output IP3 of
+30 dBm while requiring only 56 mA from a +5V supply.
The Darlington feedback pair used results in reduced
sensitivity to normal process variations and yields
excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias components.
The HMC396 can easily be integrated into Multi-ChipModules (MCMs) due to its small (0.22mm2) size. All
data is with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected
via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal
length 0.5mm (20 mils). Electrical Specifi cations, Vs= +5.0V, Rbias= 22 Ohm, TA = +25° C
