HMC504LC4B

Overview

The HMC504LC4B is a GaAs MMIC low noise wideband amplifier designed for high-frequency applications. It operates within a frequency range of 14 GHz to 27 GHz, providing stable amplification across this band. The device is housed in a leadless 4x4 mm ceramic surface mount package, facilitating compact integration into RF circuits. It requires a single 4 V power supply for operation. This component serves as a general-purpose RF amplifier suitable for systems requiring low noise performance and wide bandwidth in the millimeter-wave spectrum.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes GaAs HEMT MMIC technology for low noise and wideband amplification
• Operates effectively between 14 GHz and 27 GHz frequencies
• Housed in a compact leadless 4x4 mm ceramic surface mount package

Applications

• General purpose RF amplifier circuits
• Millimeter-wave communication systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify availability status carefully as supply may be limited or restricted. Confirm that the specific package type matches your PCB layout requirements. Ensure that the 4 V operating voltage aligns with your system's power distribution network. Check for any regional sales restrictions before placing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband low noise amplifier is required for frequencies above 14 GHz. Consider the 4x4 mm ceramic package size for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the need for GaAs MMIC technology over other semiconductor materials for the specific noise figure requirements of the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Analog Devices HMC series of RF amplifiers. It is specifically engineered as a low noise amplifier (LNA) for high-frequency operations. The LC4B suffix indicates the specific package variant used for surface mounting. It complements other wideband amplifiers in the manufacturer's portfolio for complete RF front-end solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices documentation for direct substitutes. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters if considering alternative parts. Ensure that any replacement maintains the 14-27 GHz operational range and similar package dimensions.
