General Description

The HMC280MS8G & HMC280MS8GE are +3.6V GaAs MMIC power amplifi ers covering 5 to 6 GHz. The device is packaged in a low cost, surface mount 8 lead MSOP plastic package with an exposed base paddle for improved RF ground and thermal dissipation. The amplifi er provides 18 dB of gain and 24 dBm Psat while operating from a single positive supply. External component requirements are minimal with the amplifi er occupying less than 0.023 sq. in. (14.6 sq. mm). All data is taken with the amplifi er assembled into a 50 ohm test fi xture with the exposed base paddle connected to RF ground.
