HMC341LC3BTR

Overview

The HMC341LC3BTR is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier designed for operation between 21 GHz and 29 GHz. It delivers 13 dB of gain from a single +3V supply at 30mA bias current, with a typical noise figure of 2.5 dB. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and features a 12-pin leadless surface mount package measuring 3 x 3 x 0.92mm.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs pHEMT process technology for high-performance RF amplification
• Operates on a single +3V power supply with low current consumption
• Housed in a compact, leadless RoHS-compliant surface mount package

Applications

• High-frequency communication systems requiring low noise amplification
• Test and measurement equipment operating in the Ka-band
• Satellite communication downlink receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the device matches the 21-29 GHz frequency range requirements for your application. Ensure compatibility with the single +3V bias supply configuration specified in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring minimal noise figure in the 21-29 GHz range. Consider the single-supply operation for simplified power management. Evaluate the thermal performance within the -40°C to +85°C operating range against your environmental constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hittite Microwave portfolio, now integrated into Analog Devices. It represents a specialized MMIC solution for high-frequency signal processing. The LC3B designation refers to the specific leadless surface mount package format used for these compact RF components.

Replacement Considerations

Check for HMC341LC3B as a potential non-tape-and-reel variant. Verify if other Hittite MMICs in the same frequency band offer comparable noise figures and gain characteristics for direct substitution.
