Overview
The HMC565-SX, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) chip. It operates within the frequency range of 6 to 20 GHz, making it suitable for a variety of high-frequency applications. This self-biased LNA is characterized by its compact size, wideband performance, and single +3V supply operation. The HMC565-SX is ideal for hybrid and Multi-Chip Module (MCM) assemblies due to its DC blocked RF I/Os and 50 Ohm matched input/output.
