HMC382LP3ETR

Overview

The HMC382LP3ETR is a general-purpose RF amplifier IC designed for GPS applications, operating within a frequency range of 1.7 GHz to 2.2 GHz. It features a gain of 17 dB and a noise figure of 1 dB. The device delivers a 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of 16 dBm and requires a 5 V supply voltage with a typical current consumption of 67 mA. Packaged in a 16-QFN (3x3 mm) surface-mount format, it supports test frequencies at 1.8 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for low-noise amplification in the L1 GPS band
• High linearity performance with 16 dBm P1dB output
• Compact leadless surface-mount package design

Applications

• GPS receiver front-end stages
• L-band signal conditioning circuits
• General purpose RF amplification modules

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices or Hittite distributors. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure compliance with RoHS 3 standards and check moisture sensitivity level ratings prior to soldering. Validate that the 16-QFN footprint aligns with the target PCB layout requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-noise, high-gain amplifier is required specifically for the 1.7-2.2 GHz frequency range. The 1 dB noise figure makes it suitable for sensitive receiver inputs. Consider the 16-QFN package size for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities given the 67 mA supply current and 5 V operating voltage constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Hittite Microwave Corporation portfolio, now integrated into Analog Devices Inc. following their acquisition. The HMC382 series focuses on L-band applications, providing reliable amplification for navigation and communication systems. The LP3E suffix indicates a specific lead-free, environmental compliant version of the standard HMC382 family member.

Replacement Considerations

HMC374E is listed as a similar substitute option by distributors.
