HMC406MS8G

Overview

The HMC406MS8G is a GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC power amplifier designed for operation between 5 and 6 GHz. It delivers high efficiency performance with a gain of 15 dB, a P1dB compression point of 25 dBm, and an OIP3 of 37 dBm. The device operates on a single 5 V supply with a current consumption of 230 mA. Packaged in an MSOP-8 surface-mount case, it supports input return loss of 12 dB and handles up to 2 W of power dissipation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• High-efficiency GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC construction
• Integrated power amplifier functionality within compact MSOP-8 package
• Optimized for linear performance with specified IP3 and P1dB metrics

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave links
• Wireless local loop systems
• Broadband access infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels or certified distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for recent Product Change Notifications or End-of-Life notices prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements for the MSOP-8 package.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 5–6 GHz power amplifier with high linearity and efficiency. Consider the MSOP-8 footprint for space-constrained designs. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the 2 W power dissipation rating and operating temperature range limits.

Part Context

Part of the Hittite Microwave (HMC) portfolio acquired by Analog Devices, focusing on RF and microwave integrated circuits. The HMC406 series targets wireless communication infrastructure requiring reliable high-frequency amplification solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-reference part numbers from Analog Devices documentation. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence if substituting with other GaAs HBT MMICs in the same frequency band.
