HMC460LC5TR

Overview

The HMC460LC5TR is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT low noise distributed amplifier designed for surface mount applications. It operates from DC to 20 GHz with a typical gain of 14 dB and a noise figure of 2.5 dB. The device requires an 8 V supply voltage and draws 75 mA of current. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 16 dBm, an OIP3 of 28.5 dBm, and an input return loss of 12 dB. It is housed in a 32-CSMT (5x5 mm) leadless ceramic package and supports an operating temperature range from -55°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a pHEMT process within a GaAs MMIC architecture for high-frequency performance.
• Utilizes distributed amplifier topology to achieve wideband operation across the DC to 20 GHz spectrum.
• Features a leadless ceramic surface mount package optimized for thermal dissipation and RF stability.

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio systems
• Satellite communication ground stations
• Electronic warfare signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors or direct channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to PCB assembly. Ensure storage conditions adhere to manufacturer guidelines to prevent degradation of the ceramic package and internal die structures before soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when wideband coverage from DC to 20 GHz is required alongside low noise characteristics. The 14 dB gain and 2.5 dB noise figure make it suitable for sensitive front-end stages. Consider the 8 V supply requirement and 75 mA current draw for power budget calculations compared to lower voltage alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC460 series of low noise amplifiers from Analog Devices. It shares architectural similarities with other wideband MMICs but is distinguished by its specific DC-20 GHz frequency range and ceramic packaging. It complements the company's portfolio of RF signal chain components for high-performance wireless infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

HMC460LC5 is the bare die equivalent variant. HMC460LC5TR-R5 indicates a specific reel configuration. Cross-reference with HMC460LC5 for identical electrical specifications but different packaging formats. No direct pin-compatible substitutes are documented in public sources.
