General Description
The HMC590LP5 & HMC590LP5E are high dynamic
range GaAs PHEMT MMIC 1 Watt Power Amplifiers
which operate from 6 to 9.5 GHz. The amplifier pro-
vides 21 dB of gain, +31 dBm of saturated power,
and 23% PAE from a +7welV supply. This 50 Ohm
matched amplifier does not require any external
components and the RF I/Os are DC blocked for ro-
bust operation. For applications which require op-
timum OIP3, Idd should be set for 520 mA, to yield
+40 dBm OIP3. For applications which require
optimum output P1dB, Idd should be set for 820 mA,
to yield +30 dBm Out-put P1dB.
