GaAs SMT PHEMT LOW NOISE
AMPLIFIER, 6 - 20 GHz
Functional Diagram General Description
The HMC565LC5 is a high dynamic range GaAs
pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplier housed in a
leadless RoHS compliant 5x5mm SMT package.
Operating from 6 to 20 GHz, the HMC565LC5
features 21 dB of small signal gain, 2.5 dB noise
gure and IP3 of +20 dBm across the operating
band. This self-biased LNA is ideal for microwave
radios due to its single +3V supply operation, and DC
blocked RF I/O’s.

Evaluation PCB
List of Materials for Evaluation PCB 110431 [1]
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 board should be mounted to an appro-
priate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown
is available from Hittite upon request.
