General Description

The HMC517LC4 chip is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifi er (LNA) housed in a leadless “Pb free” RoHS compliant SMT package. The HMC517LC4 provides 19 dB of small signal gain, 2.5 dB of noise fi gure and has an output IP3 of +23 dBm. The P1dB output power of +13 dBm enables the LNA to also function as a LO driver for balanced, I/Q or image reject mixers. The HMC517LC4 allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
