HMC463LP5TR

Overview

The HMC463LP5TR is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC low noise amplifier with integrated Automatic Gain Control (AGC), designed for W-band applications. It operates across a frequency range of 2 GHz to 20 GHz. Key electrical parameters include a gain of 14.5 dB, a P1dB compression point of 19 dBm, and a supply voltage of 5 V. The device utilizes Si technology in a QFN-32 surface mount package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Automatic Gain Control (AGC) functionality within the low noise amplifier architecture.
• Utilizes GaAs PHEMT MMIC technology for high-performance RF amplification.
• Designed for wideband operation covering the W-band spectrum from 2 GHz to 20 GHz.

Applications

• W-band low noise amplification
• VSAT systems
• RF signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices channels or certified distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific packaging requirements prior to order placement. Ensure compatibility with SMD/SMT assembly processes. Review current availability constraints as supply may be limited or subject to factory special orders. Validate datasheet revisions against procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring wideband amplification with dynamic gain control capabilities. Consider the QFN-32 package for surface mount integration. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 5 V supply operation. Compare performance metrics such as gain and compression points against system requirements. Assess suitability for W-band frequencies up to 20 GHz.
