GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
HMC1099
is a gallium nitride (GaN), broadband power
amplifier delivering >10 W with up to 69% PAE across an
instantaneous bandwidth of 0.01 GHz to 1.1 GHz, and with a
±0.5 dB typical gain flatness.
The
HMC1099
is ideal for pulsed or continuous wave (CW)
applications, such as wireless infrastructure, radars, public
mobile radios, and general-purpose amplification.
The
HMC1099
amplifier is externally tuned using low cost,
surface-mount components and is available in a compact
LFCSP package.
Multifunction pin names may be referenced by their relevant
function only.

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.
