Functional Diagram
General Description
The HmC616lp3(e) is a GaAs pHemT mmiC
low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular/3G and
lTe/wimAX/4G basestation front-end receivers
operating between 175 and 660 mHz. The amplifier
has been optimized to provide 0.5 dB noise figure,
24 dB gain and +37 dBm output ip3 from a single
supply of +5V. input and output return losses are
excellent with minimal external matching and bias
decoupling components. The HmC616lp3(e) shares
the same package and pinout with the HmC617-
lp3(e) and HmC618lp3(e) lNAs. The HmC616lp3(e)
can be biased with +3V to +5V and features an
externally adjustable supply current which allows
the designer to tailor the linearity performance of the
lNA for each application. The HmC616lp3(e) offers
improved noise figure versus the previously released
HmC356lp3(e).
