Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC474MP86 & HMC474MP86E are general
purpose SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT)
Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifiers covering DC to 6
GHz. This Micro-P packaged amplifier can be used
as a cascadable 50 Ohm RF/IF gain stage with up to
+10 dBm output power. The HMC474MP86(E) offer
15.5 dB of gain with a +22 dBm output IP3 at 850
MHz while requiring only 25 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.
