HMC392A-SX

Overview

The HMC392A-SX is a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Low Noise Amplifier die designed for operation between 3.5 GHz and 7.0 GHz. It provides 17.2 dB of gain with a noise figure of 1.7 dB. The device features six bonding adjustment options, allowing users to select the bias point and output power ranging from +10 dBm to +19.7 dBm. It operates on a -5 V supply voltage and supports a maximum input power of 25 dBm.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs MMIC technology for high-frequency performance
• Offers configurable output power via six bonding adjustment options
• Designed as a bare die component for custom integration

Applications

• VSAT communication systems
• Point-to-point microwave links
• Satellite ground station receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific package type matches the requirement, as this item is supplied as a semiconductor die rather than a standard surface-mount package. Confirm that the design environment supports direct wire bonding or flip-chip mounting techniques necessary for bare die components. Ensure thermal management strategies are adequate for the operating temperature range specified in the official documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low noise amplifier is required within the 3.5 GHz to 7.0 GHz frequency range. Consider the adjustable output power capability if system linearity needs tuning through external bonding configurations. Evaluate the -5 V supply requirement against available power rails. Verify compatibility with the intended PCB layout for bare die attachment and RF interconnects.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC392 series of GaAs MMIC low noise amplifiers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It is specifically engineered for applications requiring high gain and low noise figures in the C-band and Ku-band frequencies. The SX suffix typically denotes the specific tape and reel or waffle pack packaging configuration for the die form factor.
