Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC478MP86 & HMC478MP86E are SiGe
Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block
MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 4 GHz. This
Micro-P packaged amplifier can be used as a cas-
cadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage as well as a
LO or PA driver with up to +20 dBm output power.
The HMC478MP86(E) offers 22 dB of gain with a
+32 dBm output IP3 at 850 MHz while requiring only
62 mA from a single positive supply. The Darlington
feedback pair used results in reduced sensitivity to
normal process variations and excellent gain stability
over temperature while requiring a minimal number of
external bias components.
