HMC465
v09.0114 AMPLIFIERS-DRIVERS & GAIN BLOCKS -CHIP GaAs pHEMT MMIC MODULATOR
DRIVER AMPLIFIER, DC -20 GHz
Typical Applications Features The HMC465 wideband driver is ideal for: Gain: 17 dB • OC192 LN/MZ Modulator Driver Output Voltage to 10 Vp-p • Telecom Infrastructure Saturated Output Power: +24 dBm • Test Instrumentation Supply Voltage: +8V @160mA • Military & Space 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output
Die Size: 3.04 x 1.56 x 0.1 mm General Description Functional Diagram The HMC465 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Distributed
Driver Amplifier die which operates between DC and
20 GHz. The amplifier provides 17 dB of gain, 2.5 dB
noise figure and +24 dBm of saturated output power
while requiring only 160 mA from a +8V supply. Gain
flatness is excellent at ±0.25 dB as well as ±1 deg
deviation from linear phase from DC -10 GHz making
the HMC465 ideal for OC192 fiber optic LN/MZ modulator driver amplifier as well as test equipment applications. The HMC465 amplifier I/Os are internally
matched to 50 Ohms for easy integration into MultiChip-Modules (MCMs). All data is measured with
the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via
0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal
length 0.31mm (12 mils). Electrical Specifications, TA = +25 °C, Vdd = 8V, Vgg2 = 1.5V, Idd = 160mA*
