HMC490LP5

GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE

HIGH IP3 AMPLIFIER, 12 - 16 GHz

v00.0404

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC490LP5 is a high dynamic range

GaAs

PHEMT

MMIC

Low

Noise

Amplifier

which operates between 12 and 16 GHz. The

HMC490LP5 provides 23 dB of gain, 2.5 dB

noise figure and an output IP3 of +34 dBm from

a +5.0 V supply voltage. This versatile amplifier

combines excellent, stable +25 dBm P1dB

output power with very low noise figure making

it ideal for receive and transmit applications.The

amplifier is packaged in a leadless 5 mm x 5 mm

QFN surface mount package.
