Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC788ALP2E is a GaAs pHEMT Gain Block
MMIC SMT DC to 10 GHz amplifier. This 2x2 mm
DFN packaged amplifier can be used as either a
cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the LO port
of many of HIttite’s single and double-balanced mixers
with up to +20 dBm output power. The HMC788ALP2E
offers 14 dB of gain and an output IP3 of +33 dBm
while requiring only 76 mA from a +5V supply. The
Darlington feedback pair exhibits reduced sensitivity
to normal process variations and yields excellent gain
stability over temperature while requiring a minimal
number of external bias components.
