HMC452QS16GETR

Overview

The HMC452QS16GETR is a wide-band medium power amplifier manufactured by Hittite Microwave, now part of Analog Devices. It operates within a frequency range of 400 MHz to 2.2 GHz, making it suitable for various cellular and wireless communication standards including CDMA, GSM, and WCDMA. The device provides a typical gain of 22.5 dB with an output power capability of 31 dBm. It requires a single 5V supply and draws approximately 485 mA of current. Packaged in a 16-lead QSOP, this MMIC is designed for surface-mount applications in RF front-end modules.

Feature Summary

• Provides high linear output power suitable for cellular base station and repeater applications
• Optimized for wideband operation across major 2G and 3G mobile communication frequencies
• Utilizes GaAs MMIC technology for robust performance in compact surface-mount packages

Applications

• Cellular/PCS Base Stations
• WCDMA Infrastructure
• RF Signal Amplification in Wireless Local Loop Systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GETR' indicates the tape-and-reel packaging variant when sourcing components. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing updates may alter material declarations. Ensure the supplier provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity against counterfeit risks common in RF MMICs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing amplifiers for 400 MHz to 2.2 GHz bands requiring moderate gain and high output power. Consider the 16-lead QSOP package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management. Evaluate the 5V supply requirement against system power budgets and ensure adequate heat dissipation for continuous 31 dBm operation.

Part Context

This amplifier belongs to the Hittite HMC4xx series of RF MMICs, which are widely used in telecommunications infrastructure. The QSOP package offers a balance between pin count and thermal performance for medium-power applications. It serves as a key building block for power amplification stages in multi-standard radio access networks.
