HMC441LC3B

Overview

The HMC441LC3B is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC medium power amplifier designed for operation between 6 GHz and 18 GHz. It features a typical gain of 14 dB, a P1dB output power of 20 dBm, and a noise figure of 4.5 dB. The device operates on a 5 V supply with a current draw of 115 mA. It is housed in a leadless RoHS-compliant SMT package (12-CSMT/12-VFCQFN) with dimensions of 3x3 mm.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs pHEMT MMIC technology for high-efficiency performance
• Provides medium power amplification across the 6 to 18 GHz frequency range
• Housed in a compact, leadless surface-mount package compliant with RoHS standards

Applications

• Point-to-point radio links
• Satellite communication systems
• Electronic warfare applications
• Instrumentation and test equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels or certified distributors. Confirm that the received part matches the specific HMC441LC3B designation and packaging type. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to electrical characteristics or mechanical drawings prior to integration into final designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband medium power amplifier is required within the 6-18 GHz spectrum. Consider its 20 dBm P1dB capability and 14 dB gain profile against system link budget requirements. Ensure the design accommodates the 5 V supply voltage and thermal management needs associated with its 740 mW maximum power dissipation rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC441 series of RF amplifiers from Analog Devices. It serves as a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) solution, distinct from discrete amplifier designs. The LC3B suffix indicates the specific leadless surface-mount package configuration used for this variant.
