General Description

The HMC-AUH312 is a GaAs MMIC HEMT low power Distributed Driver Amplifier die which operates between 500 MHz and 65 GHz and provides a typical 3 dB bandwidth in excess of 65 GHz. The amplifier provides 10 dB of small signal gain and a maximum output amplitude of 2.5V peak to peak, which makes it ideal for use in broadband wireless, fiber optic communication and test equipment applications.

The amplifier die occupies 1.2 mm² which facilitates easy integration into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs). The HMC-AUH312 can be used with or without a bias-tee and requires off-chip blocking components and bypass capacitors for the DC supply lines. Adjustable gate voltages allow for gain adjustment.
