General Description
The HMC590LP5 & HMC590LP5E are high dynamic
range GaAs PHEMT MMIC 1 Watt Power Ampli ers
which operate fr om 6 to 9.5 GHz. The ampli er provides
21 dB of gain, +31 dBm of saturated power, and 23%
PAE from a +7.0V supply. This 50 Ohm matched
ampli er does not require any external components
and the RF I/Os are DC blocked for robust operation.
For applications which require optimum OIP3, Idd
should be set for 520 mA, to yield +40 dBm OIP3. For
applications which require optimum output P1dB, Idd
should be set for 820 mA, to yield +30 dBm Output
P1dB.
