Overview
The HMC463LP5(E) is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low Noise AGC Distributed Amplifier produced by Analog Devices Inc. This amplifier is packaged in a leadless 5x5 mm surface mount package and operates over a frequency range of 2 to 20 GHz. It is designed to provide high performance with 13 dB of gain, a noise figure of 2.8 dB, and an output power of 18 dBm at 1 dB gain compression. The device requires a supply voltage of +5V and a current of 60 mA. An optional gate bias (Vgg2) allows for Adjustable Gain Control (AGC) of 8 dB typical, making it versatile for various applications.
