Hittite Microwave introduces a highly efficient family of Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC Power Amplifiers, operating between 4.4 - 7.0 GHz with up to +29 dBm output power. These amplifiers are ideal for low cost UNII and HiperLAN applications from 5 - 6 GHz.

The HMC415LP3 provides 20dB of gain and +26 dBm of saturated power at 34% PAE from a +3V supply over 4.4 to 6.0 GHz. The HMC406MS8G provides 18 dB of gain and +29 dBm of saturated power at 38% PAE from a +5V supply over 5 to 6 GHz. The HMC407MS8G provides 15 dB of gain and +29 dBm of saturated power at 28% PAE from a +5V supply over 5 - 7 GHz. In each PA a Power Down Control input (Vpd) can be used for RF output power/current control.

The HMC415LP3 and HMC406MS8G require minimum external components while the HMC407MS8G requires no external matching, yielding a true 50 Ohm I/O amplifier. The HMC415LP3 is packaged in a low cost, leadless surface mount package (3 x 3 mm) while the HMC406MS8G and HMC407MS8G are both packaged in low cost, surface mount 8 leaded MSOP packages (3 x 5 mm). All three have an exposed base for improved RF and thermal performance. Sample and production quantities are available from stock.
