The HMC311AST89 is a monolithic microwave IC (MMIC), surface- mounted technology (SMT), DC to 6GHz amplifier. Packaged in an industry standard SOT89E, the amplifier can be used as either a cascadable 50Ω gain stage or to drive the LO of Analog Devices, Inc., mixers with up to a 16.5dBm output power. The HMC311AST89 offers 16dB of gain and an output IP3 of 31.5dBm while requiring only 54mA 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.
