The HMC311LP3(E) is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC SMT DC to 6 GHz amplifiers. This 3x3mm QFN packaged amplifier can be used as either a cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO of HMC mixers with up to +17 dBm output power. The HMC311LP3(E) offers 14.5 dB of gain and an output IP3 of +32 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.
