HMC263LP4ETR

Overview

The HMC263LP4ETR is a low noise amplifier from Analog Devices Inc., designed for the 24 GHz to 36 GHz frequency range. It operates on a single 3 V supply with a current consumption of 58 mA. The device provides a gain of 21 dB and a noise figure of 2 dB. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 6 dBm, an OIP3 of 16 dBm, and an input return loss of 12 dB. Power dissipation is rated at 700 mW. It utilizes GaAs technology and is housed in a QFN-24 package suitable for surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Integrated low noise amplification for millimeter-wave frequencies
• Single-supply operation simplifying power management
• GaAs technology ensuring high linearity and low noise

Applications

• VSAT communication systems
• Point-to-point microwave links
• Millimeter-wave radar systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'ETR' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards applicable to your region. Ensure the QFN-24 footprint matches your PCB layout design guidelines before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low noise figures and moderate gain within the 24-36 GHz band. Consider the thermal implications of 700 mW power dissipation in the QFN-24 package. Evaluate if the 3 V supply voltage aligns with your system's power architecture and if the GaAs technology suits your environmental constraints.
