HMC1040LP3CETR

Overview

The HMC1040LP3CETR is a self-biased GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier operating between 24 and 43.5 GHz. It provides 23 dB of small-signal gain with a noise figure of 2.2 dB. The device features an output IP3 of +22 dBm and a P1dB of +12 dBm. It requires a single +2.5 V supply drawing 70 mA. Input and output are DC-blocked and internally matched to 50 Ohms. The component is housed in a leadless 3x3 mm plastic surface mount package.

Feature Summary

• Self-biased GaAs MMIC architecture for simplified circuit design
• Internal 50 Ohm matching on both input and output ports
• DC-blocked I/O interfaces integrated within the package
• Suitable for use as LO driver for balanced, I/Q, and image-reject mixers

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio systems
• VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) applications
• SatCom transponders
• Industrial sensor systems
• Electronic Warfare (EW) and ECM subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status carefully as this part may be subject to limited supply or factory special order conditions. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required tape-and-reel packaging format if high-volume integration is intended. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation consistent with Analog Devices Inc. manufacturing standards. Cross-reference the exact part number against current distributor catalogs to avoid obsolete stock issues.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband LNA covering 24 to 43.5 GHz is required with low noise performance. The self-biased nature eliminates external biasing networks, reducing board space. Consider the 2.2 dB noise figure and 23 dB gain for sensitive receiver front-ends. Verify that the 70 mA supply current fits the power budget constraints of the target application environment.
