HMC605LP3 / 605LP3E
v04.1013
GAAS PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE
AMPLIFIER w/ BYPASS MODE, 2.3 - 2.7 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Typical Applications
Electrical Specications, TA = +25° C, Vdd = 5V
The HMC605LP3 / HMC605LP3E are versatile, high
dynamic range GaAs MMIC Low Noise Ampli ers that
integrate a low loss LNA bypass path on the IC. The
ampli er is ideal for WiBro & WiMAX receivers
operating between 2.3 and 2.7 GHz and provides 1.1
dB noise gure, 20 dB of gain and +31 dBm output IP3
from a single supply of +5V @ 74 mA. Input and output
return losses are 14 and 15 dB respectively with no
external matching components required. A single
control line (Vctl) is used to switch between LNA mode
and a low 2 dB loss bypass mode and reduces the
current consumption to 10 μA. The HMC605LP3 is
failsafe and will default to the bypass mode with no
DC power applied.

The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown.
A sufficient number of via holes should be used to
connect the top and bottom ground planes. The
evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
