Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC475ST89(E) is a InGaP Heterojunction
Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC SMT
amplifier covering DC to 4.5 GHz. 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 +25 dBm output power.
The HMC475ST89(E) offers 21.5 dB of gain and +35
dBm output IP3 at 850 MHz while requiring only 110
mA from a single positive supply. The Darlington
topology results in reduced sensitivity to normal
process variations and excellent gain stability over
temperature while requiring a minimal number of
external bias components.
