The HMC590 is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC 1 Watt Power Amplifier which operates from 6 to 10 GHz. This amplifier die provides 24 dB of gain, +31.5 dBm of saturated power at 25% PAE from a +7.0V supply. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of integration into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs). All data is taken with the chip in a 50 ohm test fixture connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of length 0.31mm (12 mils). For applications which require optimum OIP3, Idd should be set for 520 mA, to yield +41 dBm OIP3. For applications which require optimum output P1dB, Idd should be set for 820 mA, to yield up to +32 dBm Output P1dB.
