Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC460 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise
Distributed Ampli鏗乪r die which operates between
DC and 20 GHz. The ampli鏗乪r provides 14 dB of
gain, 2.5 dB noise 鏗乬ure and +16 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring
only 60 mA from a +8V supply. The HMC460
ampli鏗乪r can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip-
Modules (MCMs) due to its small size. All data is
with the chip in a 50 Ohm test 鏗亁ture connected via
0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal
length 0.31mm (12 mils).
