HMC465LP5
GaAs PHEMT MMIC MODULATOR DRIVER
AMPLIFIER, DC - 20.0 GHz
v00.0404
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC465LP5 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Dis-
tributed Driver Amplifi er packaged in a leadless
5 x 5 mm surface mount package which operates
between DC and 20 GHz. The amplifi er provides
15 dB of gain, 3 dB noise fi gure and +25 dBm of
saturated output power while requiring only 160
mA from a +8V supply. Gain fl atness is excel-
lent at 0.25 dB as well as +/- 4 deg deviation
from linear phase from DC - 10 GHz making the
HMC465LP5 ideal for OC192 fi ber optic LN/MZ
modulator driver amplifi er as well as test equip-
ment applications. The HMC465LP5 amplifi er
I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms.

The circuit board used in the fi nal application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have
50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and
package bottom should be connected directly to the
ground plane similar to that shown. A suffi cient number of
VIA holes should be used to connect the top and bottom
ground planes. The evaluation board should be mounted
to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board
shown is available from Hittite upon request.
