Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC283 chip is a four stage GaAs MMIC
Medium Power Ampli鏗乪r (MPA) which covers the fre-
quency range of 17 to 40 GHz. The chip can easily
be integrated into Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs) due
to its small (1.62 mm
2
) size. The chip utilizes a GaAs
PHEMT process offering 20 dB gain and +21 dBm
output power from a bias supply of +3.5V @ 300mA.
The HMC283 may be used as a frequency doubler.
A B.I.T. (Built-In-Test) pad (Vdet) allows monitoring
microwave output power. All data is with the chip
in a 50 ohm test 鏗亁ture connected via 0.076mm x
0.0127mm (3mil x 0.5mil) ribbon bonds of minimal
length 0.31mm (<12mils).
