16-24 GHz Driver Amplifier Features Functional Block Diagram ► Wideband performance
► High gain
► High linearity
► HMC498 replacement
► Small die size Vdd1 Vdd2 Vdd3 RFIN RFOUT Description
The CMD291 is a wideband GaAs MMIC driver
amplifier die which operates from 16 to 24 GHz.
The broadband device is ideally suited for
applications requiring high dynamic range. The
CMD291 delivers 23 dB of gain with a
corresponding output 1 dB compression point of
+25.5 dBm and output IP3 of 32 dBm at 20 GHz.
The amplifier is a 50 ohm matched design which
eliminates the need for external DC blocks and
RF port matching. The CMD291 offers full
passivation for increased reliability and moisture
protection. Vgg Electrical Performance -Vdd = 5 V, Idd = 250 mA, TA = 25 oC, F = 20 GHz
