LINEAR & POWER AMPLIFIERS - SMT
HMC453QS16G / 453QS16GE
InGaP HBT 1.6 WATT POWER
AMPLIFIER, 0.4 - 2.2 GHz
v01.0205
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC453QS16G & HMC453QS16GE are high
dynamic range GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipo-
lar Transistor (HBT) 1.6 watt MMIC power ampli ers
operating between 0.4 and 2.2 GHz. Packaged in a
miniature 16 lead QSOP plastic package, the amp-
li er gain is typically 21.5 dB at 0.4 GHz and 8 dB
at 2.1 GHz. Utilizing a minimum number of external
components and a single +5V supply, the ampli er
output IP3 can be optimized to +47 dBm at 0.4 GHz
or +51 dBm at 2.1 GHz. The power control (VPD)
can be used for full power down or RF output power/
current control. The high output IP3 and PAE
make the HMC453QS16G(E) ideal power ampli ers
for Cellular/PCS/3G, WLL, ISM and Fixed Wireless
applications.

The circuit board used in this 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 board should be mounted to an appropri-
ate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is
available from Hittite upon request.

900 MHz Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in this 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 board should be mounted to an appropri-
ate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is
available from Hittite upon request.
