HMC965LP5E
v02.0711
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC965LP5E is a 4 stage GaAs pHEMT MMIC
2 Watt Power Amplier with an integrated temperature
compensated on-chip power detector which operates
between 12.5 and 15.5 GHz. The HMC965LP5E
provides 27 dB of gain, +34 dBm of saturated
output power, and 20% PAE from a +6V supply.
The HMC965LP5E exhibits excellent linearity and is
optimized for high capacity digital microwave radio.
It is also ideal for 13.75 to 14.5 GHz Ku Band VSAT
transmitters as well as SATCOM applications. The
HMC965LP5E amplier I/Os are internally matched
to 50 Ohms and is packaged in a leadless QFN 5x5
mm surface mount package and requires no external
matching components.
Saturated Output Power: +34 dBm @ 20% PAE
High Output IP3: +40 dBm
High Gain: 27 dB
DC Supply: +6V @ 1200 mA
No External Matching Required
Electrical Specications
TA = +25° C, Vdd = Vdd1 = Vdd2 = Vdd3 = Vdd4 = Vdd5 = +6V, Idd = 1200 mA [1]
Typical Applications
The HMC965LP5E is ideal for:

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 con-
nected 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
appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board
shown is available from Hittite upon request.
