General Description

The HMC280MS8G is a +3.6V GaAs MMIC
power amplifier covering 5 to 6 GHz. The device
is packaged in a low cost, surface mount 8 lead
MSOP plastic package with an exposed base
paddle for improved RF ground and thermal
dissipation. The amplifier provides 18 dB of gain
and 24 dBm Psat while operating from a single
positive supply. This amplifier is ideal for use in
the UNII & ISM bands at 5.2GHz and 5.8GHz.
External component requirements are minimal
with the amplifier occupying less than 0.023 sq.
in. (14.6 sq. mm). All data is taken with the
amplifier assembled into a 50 ohm test fixture
with the exposed base paddle connected to RF
ground. For transmit / receive applications use
with either the HMC223MS8 or HMC224MS8
SPDT switches.
