HMC320MS8G is a low cost C-band fixed gain Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) from Hittite Microwave Corporation
The HMC320MS8G is a low cost C-band fixed gain Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) designed for operation using a single positive supply set between +3V and +5V. It features selectable functionality as an LNA, Driver, or LO Buffer Amp, with adjustable input IP3 up to +10 dBm. The device utilizes an ultra-small 8-lead MSOP ground base surface mount plastic package measuring 14.8 mm x 1 mm high.
The amplifier supports adaptive biasing, allowing the user to select optimal P1dB performance via an external set resistor on the RES pin. Performance can be configured for Low, Medium, or High Power modes, with P1dB ranging from +1 dBm to +13 dBm. The datasheet provides electrical specifications, performance graphs, application schematics, and absolute maximum ratings.
