HMC-AUH317

Overview

The HMC-AUH317 is a high dynamic range, three-stage GaAs HEMT MMIC medium power amplifier designed for operation between 81 and 86 GHz. It provides 22 dB of gain within this frequency band. The component utilizes Gallium Arsenide technology to deliver robust performance in millimeter-wave applications requiring significant signal amplification.

Feature Summary

• High dynamic range capability for linear signal processing
• Three-stage GaAs HEMT MMIC architecture for efficient amplification
• Optimized for medium power output in the 81-86 GHz range

Applications

• Millimeter-wave communication systems
• Point-to-point radio links
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -DIE, -SX) against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm package type and availability status. Confirm lifecycle stage as some variants may be obsolete or restricted. Ensure compatibility with existing RF design infrastructure before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring medium power amplification specifically within the 81 to 86 GHz spectrum. Evaluate thermal management requirements due to the active semiconductor nature. Ensure impedance matching networks are compatible with the specified gain characteristics.

Part Context

This device belongs to the HMC series of monolithic microwave integrated circuits from Analog Devices. It represents a specialized solution for high-frequency applications where standard silicon-based amplifiers lack sufficient performance or dynamic range capabilities at millimeter-wave frequencies.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the HMC-AUH317-DIE or HMC-AUH317-SX if different packaging formats are required. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 81-86 GHz operational bandwidth and GaAs HEMT technology profile.
