Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC461LP3 is a 1.7 - 2.2 GHz high
output IP3 GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) dual-channel MMIC ampli鏗乪r.
The linear performance of two HMC455LP3
high IP3 drivers is offered in this single IC which
can be con鏗乬ured in a balanced or push-pull
ampli鏗乪r circuit. The ampli鏗乪r provides 12 dB of
gain and +30.5 dBm of saturated power at 48%
PAE from a single +5 Vdc supply while utilizing
external baluns in a balanced con鏗乬uration.
The high output IP3 of +45 dBm coupled with
the low VSWR of 1.2:1 makes the HMC461LP3
an ideal driver ampli鏗乪r for PCS/3G wireless
infrastructure. A low cost, leadless 3x3 mm QFN
surface mount package (LP3) houses the dual
MMIC ampli鏗乪r IC. The LP3 provides an exposed
base for excellent RF and thermal performance.
