Overview
The HMC462LP5 and HMC462LP5E are GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low Noise Distributed Amplifiers from Analog Devices. These amplifiers operate over a wide frequency range of 2 to 20 GHz and are packaged in leadless 5x5 mm surface mount packages. They are self-biased, requiring a single +5V supply, and offer excellent gain flatness, making them ideal for various high-frequency applications.
