General Description

The HMC441 is an efficient GaAs PHEMT MMIC

Medium Power Ampliier which operates between 6

and 18 GHz. The ampliier provides 15.5 dB of gain,

+22 dBm of saturated power, and 23% PAE from a

+5V supply voltage. An optional gate bias is provided

to allow adjustment of gain, RF output power, and DC

power dissipation. The HMC441 ampliier can easily

be integrated into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs) due

to its small size. The backside of the die is both RF

and DC ground, simplifying the assembly process

and reducing performance variation. All data is tested

with the chip in a 50 Ohm test ixture connected via

0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal

length 0.31mm (12 mils).

Gain: 15.5 dB

Saturated Power: +22 dBm @ 23% PAE

Single Supply Voltage:

+5V w/ Optional Gate Bias

50 Ohm Matched Input/Output

Die Size: 0.94 x 0.94 x 0.1 mm

The HMC441 is ideal for:

• Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point Radios

• VSAT

• LO Driver for HMC Mixers

• Military EW & ECM
