The device (HMC374) is a high dynamic range PHEMT MMIC LNA and delivers 1.5 dB noise figure, +37 dBm output IP3 and 15 dB small signal gain at 900 MHz.

This MMIC LNA is a broadband device and requires no external matching, is unconditionally stable. It operates from a single supply voltage from +2.75V to +5.5V. It has several advantages over a discrete implementation including higher reliability, better consistency, less PCB area, and reduced component count.

The HMC374 SMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier is housed in a SOT-26 package, and is also available as the RoHS compliant HMC374E. Samples and evaluation PC boards are available from stock and can be ordered on line. Released data sheets are available on-line at www.hittite.com.
