The HMC870LC5 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Distributed Driver Amplifier packaged in a leadless 5x5 mm surface mount package which operates between DC and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 17 dB of gain, 8Vp-p saturated output swing and features output swing cross point adjustment. Gain flatness is excellent at ±0.5 dB as well as very low additive RMS jitter of 300 fs for 10 Gbps operation.The HMC870LC5 provides Metro and Long Haul designers with scalable power dissipation for varying output drive requirements. (<0.4W at VOUT= 3.6VP-Pand <1W at VOUT= 8.5VP-P) The HMC870LC5 has a very wide supply (VDD) operating range from +3.3V to +7V, and the RF I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms.APPLICATIONS10 Gbps NRZ MZ & Low V Modulator Driver10 Gbps RZ Transmission40 Gbps DQPSKBroadband Gain Block for Test & Measurement EquipmentMilitary & Space
