Overview
The HMC462LP5E is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low Noise Distributed Amplifier produced by Analog Devices Inc. This amplifier is housed in a leadless 5x5 mm surface mount package and operates over a wide frequency range of 2 to 20 GHz. It is self-biased, requiring only 66 mA from a single +5V supply, making it highly efficient and reliable. The HMC462LP5E is designed to provide 13 dB of gain, a noise figure of 2.5 to 3.5 dB, and an output power of +14.5 dBm at 1 dB gain compression. Its excellent gain flatness from 6 to 18 GHz and internally matched 50 Ohm I/Os make it an ideal choice for various high-performance applications.
