Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC326MS8G & HMC326MS8GE are high
efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Tran-
sistor (HBT) MMIC driver amplifiers which operate
between 3.0 and 4.5 GHz. The amplifier is packaged
in a low cost, surface mount 8 leaded package with
an exposed base for improved RF and thermal perfor-
mance. The amplifier provides 21 dB of gain and +26
dBm of saturated power from a +5.0V supply voltage.
Power down capability is available to conserve current
consumption when the amplifier is not in use. Internal
circuit matching was optimized to provide greater than
40% PAE.
