8Vpp Optical Modulator Driver / Wideband Amplifier, DC - 30 GHz

The HMC1051 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distributed Amplifier die which operates between DC and 30 GHz. The amplifier provides 16 dB of gain, and + 20 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression. HMC1051 has a wide supply (Vdd) operating range from +5V to +7V.

Integrated Peak-Detect Function enables the output power stability for calibration and field monitoring. The HMC1051 amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms facilitating integration into Mutli-Chip-Modules (MCMs).

8.0Vpp output voltage swing can be obtained with 1250mVpp input when stimulated with 32Gbps 231-1 PRBS NRZ data.

The HMC1051 is suitable for a variety of wideband electronic warfare systems and test & measurement applications including NRZ applications up to 32 Gbps. The HMC1051 is capable of driving Mach- Zehnder optical modulator with electrical NRZ data.
