Overview

P1dB Output Power: +19 dBm to 2.5 GHz
Gain: 19 dB @ 1 GHz
16 dB @ 2 GHz
+34 dBm Output IP3
Single Supply: +6V to +8V
Industry Standard SOT89 Package

The HMC480ST89(E) is a InGaP HBT Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 5 GHz and packaged in an industry standard SOT89. The amplifier can be used as a cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage as well as a LO or PA driver with up to +20 dBm P1dB output power for cellular/3G, FWA, CATV, microwave radio and test equipment applications.

The HMC480ST89(E) offers 19 dB of gain with a +34 dBm output IP3 at 1 GHz while requiring only 82 mA from a single positive supply.

The HMC480ST89(E) InGaP gain blocks offer excellent output IP3 and flat +19 to +20dBm output power performance through 5 GHz compared to equivalent SiGe based products.
