HMC1022A-SX

Overview

The HMC1022A-SX is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC distributed power amplifier operating from DC to 48 GHz. It provides 11.5 dB small-signal gain, 17 dBm P1dB output power, and 25 dBm OIP3. The device requires a +10 V supply at 150 mA current draw. It features internal 50 Ω input and output matching for easy integration. The component is available in an 8-pad bare die package.

Feature Summary

• Distributed architecture supporting ultra-wideband operation from DC to 48 GHz
• Internal 50-ohm impedance matching on both input and output ports
• High linearity performance with significant third-order intercept point
• Positive gain slope characteristic within the 10 to 35 GHz frequency range

Applications

• Electronic Warfare (EW) systems
• Electronic Countermeasures (ECM)
• Radar transceivers
• Broadband test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and testing conditions. Ensure that the bare die handling requirements are compatible with your assembly process. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest datasheet revision. Validate supply chain authenticity via authorized channels due to limited availability constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when wideband coverage extending to 48 GHz is required alongside moderate power output. The internal matching simplifies circuit design by eliminating external matching networks. Consider the bare die form factor for space-constrained multi-chip module implementations. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the power dissipation characteristics of the GaAs technology.
