HMC372LP3ETR

Overview

The HMC372LP3ETR is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier designed for GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA cellular basestation front-end receivers. It operates within a frequency range of 0.7 to 1.0 GHz. Key electrical specifications include a gain of 15 dB, a noise figure of 1 dB, a P1dB compression point of 21 dBm, and an OIP3 value. The device requires a 5 V supply voltage with a typical operating current of 100 mA. It is housed in a QFN-16 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs pHEMT MMIC technology for high-performance RF amplification
• Optimized specifically for cellular basestation front-end receiver applications
• Supports multiple wireless standards including GSM, CDMA, and W-CDMA

Applications

• GSM cellular basestation front-end receivers
• CDMA cellular basestation front-end receivers
• W-CDMA cellular basestation front-end receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ETR' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the datasheet. Check current availability as distribution channels may list limited stock or end-of-life statuses. Ensure the QFN-16 footprint matches your PCB design constraints before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing basestation receivers requiring low noise figures around 1 dB in the 700 MHz to 1 GHz band. Consider the 15 dB gain and 21 dBm P1dB for signal integrity. Verify that the 5 V supply and 100 mA current draw fit your power budget. Compare against other HMC series LNA options if different frequency ranges or package types are required.

Part Context
