HMC-ALH376

Overview

The HMC-ALH376 is a GaAs MMIC HEMT three-stage, self-biased low noise amplifier die operating between 35 and 45 GHz. The amplifier provides 16 dB of gain, 2 dB noise figure, and +6 dBm output power at 1 dB gain compression. It requires a 4 V supply with an operating current of 87 mA. The device is designed for W-band applications requiring high performance in a compact die format.

Feature Summary

• Three-stage GaAs HEMT MMIC architecture for enhanced signal amplification
• Self-biasing design simplifies circuit integration and reduces external component requirements
• Optimized for low noise performance in the 35 to 45 GHz frequency range

Applications

• W-band communication systems
• Point-to-point microwave links
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as the part may be subject to limited supply or factory special orders. Confirm that the specific die configuration meets your PCB layout and bonding requirements. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to the bare die package type. Check for any regional shipping restrictions before placing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low noise amplifier is required for the 35-45 GHz band with minimal bias complexity. The self-biased feature reduces design overhead compared to externally biased alternatives. Consider the die form factor if space constraints preclude packaged solutions. Verify that the 4V supply voltage aligns with your system's power distribution network.
