Hittite Microwave Corporation, recently announced the release of a new surface mount pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for fixed wireless, CATV, microwave radio and cellular/3G basestation and repeater applications from 0.3 to 3.0 GHz. 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. Please contact earthfriendly@hittite.com for details on the availability of “lead free” & RoHS compliant products from Hittite.
