HMC-AUH317-SX

Overview

The HMC-AUH317-SX is a GaAs HEMT MMIC medium power amplifier from Analog Devices Inc., designed for VSAT and DBS applications. It operates within the 81 GHz to 86 GHz frequency range, utilizing a die package for surface mount installation. The component requires a 4V supply voltage and draws 160mA of current. Key electrical specifications include a gain of 22dB, a P1dB compression point of 17.5dBm, and a test frequency range of 81GHz ~ 86GHz.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs HEMT MMIC technology for high-frequency performance
• Designed specifically for VSAT and DBS signal chain applications
• Provides medium power amplification in a compact die package

Applications

• VSAT communication systems
• DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SX' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the exact die variant and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with 4V supply requirements and thermal management solutions suitable for GaAs MMICs. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components and confirm current availability status.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring medium power amplification in the 81-86 GHz band. Consider the 4V supply constraint and 160mA current draw during power budgeting. Evaluate the die package format for integration into custom PCB layouts or multi-chip modules. Compare against other Hittite/Analog Devices MMICs if different gain or output power levels are required.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Analog Devices RF amplifier portfolio, specifically targeting millimeter-wave applications. It complements other components in the company's interactive RF signal chain offerings. The part is distinct from lower-frequency variants like the HMC517 series, focusing on higher frequency operations up to 86 GHz.
