HMC383LC4

Overview

The HMC383LC4 is a general-purpose GaAs PHEMT MMIC driver amplifier designed for wideband applications. It operates within a frequency range of 12 GHz to 30 GHz and provides a nominal gain of 15 dB. The device is powered by a single +5 V supply, drawing approximately 100 mA. Key performance metrics include a saturated output power of +18 dBm, a P1dB compression point of 16 dBm, and an OIP3 of 25 dBm. It features a noise figure of 7.5 dB and is housed in a leadless RoHS-compliant SMT package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs PHEMT MMIC technology for high-performance RF amplification
• Operates on a single +5 V power supply for simplified circuit design
• Housed in a leadless surface-mount package compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Satellite communication systems
• Electronic warfare equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., TR) for tape-and-reel packaging requirements against your assembly line specifications. Confirm that the leadless QFN package handling procedures align with your facility's moisture sensitivity level protocols. Ensure compatibility with the 12-30 GHz operational bandwidth before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband driver amplifier is required between 12 GHz and 30 GHz. It is suitable for designs needing 15 dB gain with moderate output power capabilities. Consider the single-supply operation and compact leadless package for space-constrained PCB layouts. Verify thermal management requirements given the power dissipation characteristics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC383G series of RF amplifiers from Analog Devices. It serves as a medium-power driver stage in microwave signal chains. The device complements other components in the family by providing broadband amplification without requiring complex biasing networks.
