The HMC279MS8G is a +3V GaAs MMIC driver amplifier covering the 2.5-4.2 GHz frequency range. It provides a gain of greater than 36dB and an output power of +14 dBm while operating from a single +3V supply at 60mA. No external components are required and it occupies a small area. It is ideal for applications such as 2.6-2.7 GHz MMDS, 3.5 GHz Wireless Local Loop, and 3.7-4.2 GHz Satellite (Receive and Transmit Bands).
The HMC279MS8G is a broadband GaAs MMIC driver amplifier operating from 2.5 to 4.2 GHz. It features high gain of up to 36 dB and an output power for 1 dB compression (P1dB) of +14 dBm when powered by a single +3V supply at 60 mA. The device is housed in a low-cost, surface-mount MSOP8G package with an exposed base paddle designed for improved RF grounding without requiring external matching components.
The document provides comprehensive electrical specifications including gain variation over temperature, input and output return loss, reverse isolation, noise figure, and third-order intercept points (IP3). It also lists absolute maximum ratings such as drain bias voltage and channel temperature, along with an outline drawing for the MSOP package.
