HMC373

GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier w/ Bypass Mode, 700 - 1000 MHz

* Noise Figure: 0.9 dB

* Output IP3: +35 dBm

* Gain: 14 dB

* Low Loss LNA Bypass Path

* Single Supply: +5V @ 90 mA

* 50 Ohm Matched Output

The HMC373LP3 / HMC373LP3E are versatile, high dynamic range GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifiers that integrates a low loss LNA bypass mode on the IC. The amplifier is ideal for GSM & CDMA cellular basestation front-end receivers operating between 700 and 1000 MHz and provides 0.9 dB noise figure, 14 dB of gain and +35 dBm IP3 from a single supply of +5V @ 90 mA. Input and output return losses are 28 and 12 dB respectively with the LNA requiring minimal external components to optimize the RF input match, RF ground and DC bias. By presenting an open or short circuit to a single control line, the LNA can be switched into a low 2.0 dB loss bypass mode reducing the current consumption to 10 μA. For applications which require improved noise figure, please see the HMC668LP3(E). Applications

* GSM, GPRS & EDGE

* CDMA & W-CDMA

* Private Land Mobile Radio
