The HMC8414 is a low noise wideband amplifier with a bypass switch that operates from 0.1 GHz to 10 GHz. The integrated bypass switch enables high dynamic range systems with large receive path signal variation. In the bypass path, typical insertion loss and input third-order intercept (IIP3) are 1.5 dB and 49.4 dBm, respectively.The HMC8414 features inputs and outputs that are internally matched to 50 Ω over the full operating range of the device. The single positive supply voltage can range from 3 V to 6 V. The bias current is set by a resistor connected between the RBIAS pin and VDD pins (RFOUT/VDD1 and VDD2), and can be varied around its nominal value of 90 mA.The HMC8414 is fabricated on a gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process. It is housed in an RoHS-compliant, 3 mm × 3 mm, LFCSP package and is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C.ApplicationsTest and measurement equipmentWideband high dynamic range receivers
