Functional Diagram
General Description
The HmC637lp5(e) is a GaAs mmiC mesfeT
Distributed power Amplifier which operates bet-
ween DC and 6 GHz. The amplifier provides 13 dB
of gain, +40 dBm output ip3 and +29 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring 400
mA from a +12V supply. Gain flatness is excellent at
±0.75 dB from DC - 6 GHz making the HmC637lp5(e)
ideal for ew, eCm, radar and test equipment
applications. The HmC637lp5(e) amplifier i/os
are internally matched to 50 ohms and the 5x5 mm
Qfn package is compatible with high volume smT
assembly equipment.
