Typical Applications The HMC39ST9(E) is ideal for: Cellular / PCS / 3G WiMAX, WiBro, & Fixed Wireless CATV & Cable Modem Microwave Radio IF and RF Sections Functional Diagram Electrical Specifications, Vs= 5V, T A = +25 C Features Low Noise Figure: 2.3 db High P1dB Output Power: +22 dbm High Output IP3: +3 dbm Gain: 13 db 5 Ohm I/O s - No External Matching Industry Standard SOT9 Package General Description The HMC39ST9(E) is a GaAs PHEMT, High Linearity, Low Noise, Wideband Gain Block Amplifi er covering.2 to 4. GHz. Packaged in an industry standard SOT9, the amplifi er can be used as either a cascadable 5 Ohm gain stage, a PA Pre-Driver, a Low Noise Amplifi er, or a Gain Block with up to +22 dbm output power. This versatile Gain Block Amplifi er is powered from a single +5V supply and requires no external matching components. The internally mat-ched topology permits this amplifi er to be readily ported between virtually any printed circuit board material, regardless of its dielectric constant, thickness, or composition.

Signal lines should have 5 ohm impedance while the package ground leads and package bottom 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 Hittite upon request. - 345
