HMC462LP5TR

Overview

The HMC462LP5TR is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC low noise distributed amplifier in a leadless 5x5 mm surface mount package. It operates from 2 to 20 GHz with gain ranging from 10 to 14 dB and noise figures between 2.5 and 6.0 dB depending on frequency sub-bands. The device provides P1dB output power of 9 to 15 dBm and saturated output power of 15 to 17 dBm. Input and output are matched to 50 Ohms with internal DC blocking. It requires a +5V supply and draws approximately 66 mA typical current.

Feature Summary

• Wideband operation across the 2 to 20 GHz spectrum
• Integrated self-bias design simplifying circuit requirements
• Internal DC blocking for direct 50 Ohm system integration

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure
• Microwave radio links
• VSAT systems
• Military electronic warfare and C3I systems
• Test instrumentation equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to procurement. Ensure the leadless 5x5 mm LFCSP footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints. Validate that the +5V supply voltage aligns with the system power architecture. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or limited availability notices.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring wideband amplification up to 20 GHz. Consider the trade-off between noise figure and gain across different frequency segments within the band. Evaluate the thermal management capabilities due to the small surface mount package size. Assess the suitability of the 66 mA supply current against total system power budgets. Ensure input and output impedance matching networks accommodate the internal 50 Ohm termination.
