HMC998APM5E

Overview

The HMC998APM5E is a distributed amplifier manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. designed for high-frequency RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 20 GHz. The device provides a typical gain of 16 dB and achieves a noise figure of 3.5 dB. It requires a single positive supply voltage of +10 V with a current consumption of 400 mA. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 29 dBm and an OIP3 of 40 dBm. The component is housed in a 32-lead LFCSP package.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes distributed amplifier topology to achieve wideband operation from DC to 20 GHz.
• Provides high linearity with a third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 40 dBm.
• Features low noise characteristics suitable for sensitive receiver front-ends.
• Operates on a single +10 V power supply.

Applications

• High-speed optical communication systems
• Electronic warfare equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Confirm that the LFCSP-32 package matches the required thermal and mechanical constraints for the target PCB design. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C aligns with the environmental requirements of the final application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth extending to DC is required, which distinguishes it from standard narrowband amplifiers. The distributed architecture supports high output power levels while maintaining linearity. Consider the single +10 V supply requirement and the associated power dissipation capabilities of the LFCSP-32 package during the initial circuit design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC998 series of distributed amplifiers from Analog Devices. These components are engineered for broadband signal processing where consistent gain and impedance matching across a wide spectrum are critical. The APM5E designation indicates the specific package variant and manufacturing configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Analog Devices official documentation for verified cross-reference part numbers. Do not assume functional equivalence with other HMC series amplifiers without verifying pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment.
