HMC311ST89 / 311ST89E v03.0710 AMPLIFIERS - DRIVER & GAIN BLOCK - SMT 8 InGaP HBT GAIN BLOCK MMIC AMPLIFIER, DC - 6 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC311ST89(E) is ideal for: P1dB Output Power: +15.5 dBm * Cellular / PCS / 3G Output IP3: +31.5 dBm * Fixed Wireless & WLAN Gain: 16 dB * CATV & Cable Modem 50 Ohm I/O's * Microwave Radio Industry Standard SOT89 Package Included in the HMC-DK001 Designer's Kit General Description Functional Diagram The HMC311ST89(E) is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC SMT DC to 6 GHz amplifier. Packaged in an industry standard SOT89, the amplifier can be used as either a cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO of HMC mixers with up to +16.5 dBm output power. The HMC311ST89(E) offers 16 dB of gain and an output IP3 of +31.5 dBm while requiring only 54 mA from a +5V supply. The Darlington feedback pair used results in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations and yields excellent gain stability over temperature while requiring a minimal number of external bias components.
