GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
HMC1049
is a GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier that
operates between 0.3 GHz and 20 GHz. This LNA provides
15 dB of small signal gain, 1.8 dB noise figure, and an IP3
output of 29 dBm, yet requires only 70 mA from a 7 V supply.
The P1dB output power of 14.5 dBm enables the LNA to
function as a local oscillator (LO) driver for balanced, I/Q, or
image rejection mixers. V
DD
can also be applied to Pin 21;
however, Pin 21 requires a bias tee with V
DD
= 4 V. The
HMC1049
amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ω and
the device is supplied in a compact, leadless, QFN 5 mm ×5 mm
surface-mount package.

Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may
affect product reliability.

No Connect. These pins are not connected internally; however, all data was measured with these pins
connected to RF/dc ground externally (see the Typical Performance Characteristics section for data
plots).
RF Input. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω.
Power Supply Voltage for the Amplifier. External bypass capacitors (100 pF and 0.01 μF) are required.
Low Frequency Termination. An external bypass capacitor of 100 pF is required.
RF Output/Alternate Power Supply Voltage for the Amplifier. An external bias tee is required when
used as alternative V
DD
. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω.
Low Frequency Termination. External bypass capacitors of 100 pF are required.
Gate Control for Amplifier. Adjust the voltage to achieve I
DD
= 70 mA. External bypass capacitors of
100 pF, 0.01 μF, and 4.7μF are required.
