The HmC718lp4(e) is a GaAs pHemT mmiC

low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular/3G and

lTe/wimAX/4G

basestation

front-end

receivers

operating between 600 and 1400 mHz. The amplifier

has been optimized to provide 0.9 dB noise figure,

32 dB gain and +40 dBm output ip3 from a single

supply of +5V. input and output return losses are

excellent and the lNA requires minimal external

matching and bias decoupling components. The

HmC718lp4(e) shares the same package and

pinout with the HmC719lp3(e) 1.3 - 2.9 GHz lNA.

The HmC718lp4(e) can be biased with +3V to +5V

and features an externally adjustable supply current

which allows the designer to tailor the linearity

performance of the lNA for each application.

Noise figure: 0.9 dB

Gain: 32 dB

output ip3: +40 dBm

single supply: +3V to +5V

50 ohm matched input/output

The HmC718lp4(e) is ideal for:

• Cellular/3G and lTe/wimAX/4G

• BTs & infrastructure

• repeaters and femtocells

• Access points

• Test equipment
