Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC326MS8G & HMC326MS8GE are high
efficiency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) MMIC driver amplifiers which
operate between 3.0 and 4.5 GHz. The amplifier
is packaged in a low cost, surface mount 8 leaded
package with an exposed base for improved RF and
thermal performance. The amplifier provides 21 dB
of gain and +26 dBm of saturated power from a +5V
supply voltage. Power down capability is available to
conserve current consumption when the amplifier is
not in use. Internal circuit matching was optimized to
provide greater than 40% PAE.

[1]
The circuit board used in the final application
should use RF circuit design techniques. Signal
lines should have 50 Ohm impedance while the
package ground leads and exposed paddle should
be connected directly to the ground plane similar to
that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should
be used to connect the top and bottom ground
planes. The evaluation board should be mounted
to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit
board shown is available from Analog Devices
upon request.
