HMC356LP3ETR

Overview

The HMC356LP3ETR is a low noise amplifier from Analog Devices Inc., designed for surface mount applications in the 350 MHz to 550 MHz frequency range. It operates on a single 5 V supply with a current consumption of 104 mA. The device provides a typical gain of 17 dB and achieves a noise figure of 1 dB. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 21 dBm and an OIP3 of 38 dBm. It is housed in a 16-VFQFN exposed pad package, measuring 3x3 mm, and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs technology for high-performance RF amplification within the specified frequency band.
• Delivers low noise characteristics suitable for sensitive receiver front-end stages.
• Features a compact QFN-16 package optimized for space-constrained surface mount designs.

Applications

• CDMA base station receivers
• GSM infrastructure equipment
• Wireless local loop systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure ordering suffix matches required packaging format such as cut tape or reel specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low noise amplification between 350 MHz and 550 MHz. Consider the 17 dB gain and 1 dB noise figure for signal integrity preservation. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 910 mW power dissipation in the small QFN-16 footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC356 series of low noise amplifiers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It shares the same functional family with variants like the HMC356LP3E, differing primarily in packaging configuration. The series targets wireless communication applications requiring reliable RF signal conditioning.
