HMC320MS8GTR

Overview

The HMC320MS8GTR is a low-cost C-band fixed gain Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within the 5.0 to 6.0 GHz frequency range using a single positive supply voltage between +3V and +5V. The device utilizes GaAs MMIC technology and is housed in an 8-lead MSOP surface mount package with dimensions of 14.8 x 14.8 x 1 mm. At +3V bias, it provides a noise figure of 2.5 dB and 12 dB gain.

Feature Summary

• Adaptive biasing capability allows selection of optimal P1dB performance via an external resistor on the RES pin
• Selectable functionality supports operation as LNA, driver, or LO buffer amplifier
• Adjustable input IP3 up to +10 dBm for system optimization

Applications

• UNII band applications
• HiperLAN systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation. Check current lifecycle status as some variants may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure the supplier provides valid manufacturer traceability for quality assurance.

Selection Notes

Select this component for C-band designs requiring low noise performance in a compact footprint. Consider the adaptive bias feature if dynamic power handling adjustment is required. Verify that the 8-lead MSOP package fits the available PCB area constraints. Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with the system's power supply capabilities.
