General Description
The HMC327MS8G(E) is a high efficiency GaAs
InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC
power amplifier which operates between 3 and 4 GHz.
The amplifier is packaged in a low cost, surface mo-
unt 8 leaded package with an exposed base for
improved RF and thermal performance. With a mini-
mum of external components, the amplifier provides
21 dB of gain, +30 dBm of saturated power at 45%
PAE from a single +5V supply. Power down capability
is available to conserve current consumption when the
amplifier is not in use.
