HMC481MP86E

Overview

The HMC481MP86E is a SiGe HBT gain block MMIC amplifier from Analog Devices Inc., operating from DC to 5 GHz. It features 20 dB gain, a P1dB of 20 dBm, and a noise figure between 3.5 dB and 4.5 dB. The device operates on a supply voltage of 6V to 12V with a current draw of 74mA. Packaged in an SOT-86 Micro-P format, it serves as a cascadable 50 Ω RF/IF gain stage.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes Silicon Germanium Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (SiGe HBT) technology for high-performance amplification
• Designed as a cascadable 50 Ω RF/IF gain stage suitable for integration into complex signal chains
• Operates effectively across a wide frequency range extending from DC up to 5 GHz

Applications

• RF and IF gain stages in communication systems
• GPS receiver front-end amplification
• General-purpose RF signal chain applications

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to the obsolete lifecycle status. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment against the SOT-86 Micro-P specification. Review official documentation for any product change notices or replacement recommendations prior to procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring moderate gain and low noise within the 5 GHz bandwidth. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 6V to 12V supply range and 74mA current consumption. Consider thermal management capabilities given the 753mW maximum power dissipation rating in the compact surface-mount package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC481 series of SiGe HBT gain block MMICs. It shares functional similarities with other devices in the family but is distinct in its specific packaging and electrical characteristics tailored for DC to 5 GHz operations. The MP86 suffix denotes the specific micro-package configuration.

Replacement Considerations

The product lifecycle status is listed as Obsolete. Consult official manufacturer resources for verified substitute part numbers or recommended alternatives that meet equivalent DC-5 GHz performance requirements.
