General Description
The HMC407MS8G & HMC407MS8GE are high
efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) MMIC Power amplifiers which
operate between 5 and 7 GHz. The amplifier requires
no external matching to achieve operation and is
thus truly 50 Ohm matched at input and output. The
amplifier is packaged in a low cost, surface mount
8 leaded package with an exposed base for im-
proved RF and thermal performance. The amplifier
provides 15 dB of gain, +29 dBm of saturated power
at 28% PAE from a +5V supply voltage. Power down
capability is available to conserve current consum-
ption when the amplifier is not in use.
