50 Ohm Matched Input/Output

The HMC1086 is a 25W Gallium Nitride (GaN) Power

Amplifier MMIC which operates between 2 and 6 GHz.

The amplifier typically provides 22 dB of small signal

gain, +44.5 dBm of saturated output power, and

+48 dBm output IP3 at +33 dBm output power per

tone. The HMC1086 draws 1100 mA quiescent current

from a +28V DC supply. The RF I/Os are DC blocked

and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of integration into

Multi-Chip-Modules (MCM). All electrical performance

data was acquired with die eutectically attached to

1.02 mm (40 mil) thick CuMo carrier with multiple

1.0 mil diameter ball bonds connecting the die to

50 Ohm transmission lines on alumina.
