HMC392ALC4TR

Overview

The HMC392ALC4TR is a GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier from Analog Devices Inc., operating within the 3.5 GHz to 8.0 GHz frequency range. It features a typical gain of 17 dB and a noise figure of 1.8 dB. The device provides a P1dB compression point of 19 dBm and operates on a supply voltage between 2 V and 5 V with a current consumption of 61 mA. Packaged in a 24-CLCC (3.9x3.9 mm) surface-mount format, it supports CDMA, GSM, EDGE, and W-CDMA applications.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs MMIC technology for high-performance RF amplification
• Optimized for wideband operation across 3.5 to 8.0 GHz
• Designed for compatibility with major cellular communication standards

Applications

• CDMA receiver front-ends
• GSM base station and mobile unit amplification
• EDGE signal processing chains
• W-CDMA uplink and downlink stages

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or certified partners. Confirm that the received package matches the 24-CLCC specification and includes proper moisture barrier packaging due to MSL level 3 requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official datasheets to ensure compliance with electrical specifications before integration into production systems.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring low noise performance in the 3.5 to 8.0 GHz band. Consider the 1.8 dB noise figure and 17 dB gain for sensitive receiver architectures. Ensure the design accommodates the 2 V to 5 V supply range and 61 mA current draw. Evaluate thermal management needs given the power dissipation characteristics inherent to GaAs MMICs in compact CLCC packages.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC392 series of low noise amplifiers manufactured by Analog Devices. It represents a specific surface-mount variant (TR suffix indicating tape and reel packaging) of the broader HMC392 family. The series targets wireless infrastructure and mobile communications, offering a balance of gain, noise, and linearity suitable for modern digital modulation schemes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the HMC392LC4TR, though package differences exist. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment when transitioning between variants within the HMC392 family or considering alternative manufacturers' offerings.
