HMC465

Overview

The HMC465 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT distributed driver amplifier die operating from DC to 20 GHz. It provides 17 dB gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, and +24 dBm saturated output power with an 8V supply.

Feature Summary

• GaAs PHEMT technology for high-frequency performance
• Distributed amplifier architecture for wideband operation
• Die-level component for custom integration

Applications

• Wideband driver stages in RF signal chains
• GPS and satellite communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment front-ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., SX) for packaging or handling requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation. Ensure ESD protection protocols are followed during assembly due to the bare die format.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring broad bandwidth up to 20 GHz. Consider the 17 dB gain and low noise figure for sensitive receiver chains. Evaluate thermal management needs given the power dissipation characteristics of the die.

Part Context

Part of the HMC465 family of wideband amplifiers. The base model serves as a core building block for various RF designs. Different suffixes denote variations in packaging or testing standards while maintaining core electrical specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the Analog Devices portfolio. Verify pin compatibility if using packaged variants like HMC465LP5ETR. Ensure frequency range and gain requirements match the replacement.
