HMC462LP5 / 462LP5E

v05.0213

GaAs pHEMT MMIC

LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 2 - 20 GHz

Typical Applications Features

The HMC462LP5 / HMC462LP5E Wideband LNA is Noise Figure: 2.5 dB @ 10 GHz
ideal for:
AMPLIFIERS - LOW NOISE - SMT

Gain: 13 dB
• Telecom Infrastructure P1dB Output Power: +14.5 dBm @ 10 GHz
• Microwave Radio & VSAT Self-Biased: +5V @ 66mA
• Military EW, ECM & C3I 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output
• Test Instrumentation 25 mm2 Leadless SMT Package
• Fiber Optics

Functional Diagram General Description

The HMC462LP5 & HMC462LP5E are GaAs MMIC
pHEMT Low Noise Distributed Amplifiers in leadless
5x5 mm surface mount packages which operate
between 2 and 20 GHz. The self-biased amplifier
provides 13 dB of gain, 2.5 to 3.5 dB noise figure and
+14.5 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression
while requiring only 66 mA from a single +5V supply.
Gain flatness is excellent from 6 - 18 GHz making
the HMC462LP5 & HMC462LP5E ideal for EW,
ECM RADAR and test equipment applications. The
wideband amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50
Ohms and are internally DC blocked.
