HMC-C001

Overview

The HMC-C001 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise Distributed Amplifier housed in a miniature, hermetic module with replaceable SMA connectors. It operates between 2 and 18 GHz. The device provides high gain and low noise figure for RF applications. Supply voltage ranges from 9V to 15V with a supply current of 78mA. It is designed for VSAT and general RF signal chain use.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs MMIC PHEMT technology for distributed amplification
• Housed in a miniature, hermetic module with replaceable SMA connectors
• Optimized for low noise performance in wideband applications

Applications

• VSAT systems
• RF signal chains
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., -3) against the datasheet to confirm voltage requirements, as variants exist. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to integration. Ensure the hermetic package handling procedures are followed during assembly to maintain reliability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband LNA covering 2-18 GHz is required. Consider the hermetic module form factor if environmental sealing is necessary. Verify that the 9V-15V supply range aligns with system power constraints compared to lower voltage alternatives.

Part Context

Part of Analog Devices' HMC series of RF modules. Designed for high-performance analog signal processing. Integrates MMIC die into a robust connectorized package for ease of prototyping and deployment in critical RF infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Check for HMC-C001-3 variant which may have different supply voltage specifications. Evaluate other HMC-LNA series modules for similar frequency coverage but different packaging or voltage needs.
