HMC442LC3BTR-R5

Overview

The HMC442LC3BTR-R5 is a medium power amplifier from Analog Devices Inc., operating within the 17.5 GHz to 25.5 GHz frequency range. It utilizes GaAs PHEMT MMIC technology and is housed in a leadless, RoHS-compliant SMT package (12-SMT/3x3). Key electrical parameters include a gain of 13 dB, a P1dB output power of 22 dBm, and a noise figure of 9 dB. The device requires a 5V supply voltage and draws 84 mA of current. It is designed for surface mount installation and supports frequencies between 21 GHz and 24 GHz during testing.
