v2.7 HMCST9 / ST9E Typical Applications The HMCST9 / HMCST9E is an ideal RF/IF gain block & LO or PA driver for: Cellular / PCS / 3G Fixed Wireless & WLAN CATV, Cable Modem & DBS Microwave Radio & Test Equipment Functional Diagram Features P1 Output Power: +19 m to 2.5 GHz Gain: 19 @ 1 GHz @ 2 GHz +3 m Output IP3 Single Supply: +V to +V Industry Standard SOT9 Package Included in the HMC-DK1 Designer s Kits General Description Electrical Specifications, Vs=. V, Rbias= 39 Ohm, T A = +25 C Gain The HMCST9 & HMCST9E are InGaP HBT Gain Block MMIC SMT amplifi ers covering DC to 5 GHz and packaged in an industry standard SOT9. The amplifi er can be used as a cascadable 5 Ohm RF/IF gain stage as well as a LO or PA driver with up to +2 m P1 output power for cellular/3g, FWA, CATV, microwave radio and test equipment applications. The HMCST9(E) offers 19 of gain with a +3 m output IP3 at 1 GHz while requiring only 2 ma from a single positive supply. The HMCST9(E) InGaP gain blocks offer excellent output IP3 and fl at +19 to +2m output power performance through 5 GHz compared to equivalent SiGe based products. Parameter Min. Typ. Max.
