Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC280MS8G is a +3.6V GaAs MMIC power
ampli鏗乪r covering 5 to 6 GHz. The device is pack-
aged in a low cost, surface mount 8 lead MSOP
plastic package with an exposed base paddle for
improved RF ground and thermal dissipation. The
ampli鏗乪r provides 18 dB of gain and 24 dBm
Psat while operating from a single positive supply.
External component requirements are minimal
with the ampli鏗乪r occupying less than 0.023 sq.
in. (14.6 sq. mm). All data is taken with the
ampli鏗乪r assembled into a 50 ohm test 鏗亁ture
with the exposed base paddle connected to RF
ground. For transmit / receive applications use
with either the HMC223MS8 or HMC224MS8
SPDT switches.
