Product details
Overview
108190-HMC489LP5 from Analog Devices (formerly Hittite Microwave) is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC power amplifier in a 5 × 5 mm leadless SMT package, operating from 12–16 GHz with 13 dB small-signal gain, +32 dBm saturated output power at 16% PAE, and +34 dBm output IP3. It serves as a final-stage RF power amplifier in millimeter-wave point-to-point radio transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the 108190-HMC489LP5 datasheet, 108190-HMC489LP5 pinout, 108190-HMC489LP5 application, or 108190-HMC489LP5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12–16 GHz bandwidth, +7 V / 1300 mA supply requirement, 50 Ω matched RF I/Os, thermal resistance of 6.5 °C/W, and MSL1 reflow compatibility.
Technical Context
The 108190-HMC489LP5 integrates five independent drain supply pins (Vdd1–Vdd5) and one gate bias pin (Vgg) for stable high-frequency operation, with all RF ports DC-blocked and internally matched to 50 Ω. Its monolithic GaAs PHEMT architecture enables broadband linear amplification without external matching networks across 12–16 GHz.
Thermal management relies on soldering the exposed ground paddle to PCB ground via copper-filled vias; maximum channel temperature is 150 °C, with continuous power dissipation derated above +85 °C at 154 mW/°C. Absolute max Vdd is +8 Vdc, and RF input withstand is +28 dBm.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Ka-band power amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC489LP5E | RoHS-compliant version with matte tin finish; identical electrical specs and pinout; MSL1 rated to 260 °C peak reflow | Required for Pb-free manufacturing; same thermal and RF performance | Select HMC489LP5E when RoHS compliance and higher reflow tolerance are mandatory |
| Qorvo QPA2211 | 12–16 GHz GaN MMIC; +33 dBm Psat, 22% PAE, +28 V supply; larger 6 × 6 mm QFN | Higher efficiency and power, but requires different biasing and thermal design | Choose QPA2211 only when >20% PAE and >2 W output are needed, accepting redesign effort |

FAQ
What is the operating frequency range of the 108190-HMC489LP5?
The 108190-HMC489LP5 operates from 12 to 16 GHz with guaranteed performance across this full Ka-band span. Gain, output power, and linearity parameters are specified in two sub-bands (12–14 GHz and 14–16 GHz), with typical gain of 13 dB and Psat of +32 dBm maintained throughout. Temperature-stable operation is validated from –40 °C to +85 °C.
Does the 108190-HMC489LP5 require external matching components?
No - the 108190-HMC489LP5 features fully integrated 50 Ω input and output matching. Both RFIN (Pin 4) and RFOUT (Pin 21) are AC-coupled and impedance-matched internally, eliminating the need for external baluns, stubs, or lumped-element matching networks. Only DC blocking is inherent; no additional series capacitors are required at RF ports.
How is gate bias configured for the 108190-HMC489LP5?
The 108190-HMC489LP5 uses a single gate bias pin (Vgg, Pin 9) adjustable from –2 V to 0 V to set the quiescent drain current (Idd) to 1300 mA at +7 V supply. External bypassing with 100 pF and 2.2 μF capacitors is mandatory. Bias must follow Hittite's "MMIC Amplifier Biasing Procedure" to avoid instability or device damage.
What thermal management is required for the 108190-HMC489LP5?
The 108190-HMC489LP5 requires soldering its exposed ground paddle directly to a solid PCB ground plane using ≥6 copper-filled vias. Thermal resistance from junction to ground paddle is 6.5 °C/W. For continuous operation at full Psat, a heatsink or forced airflow is recommended above +60 °C ambient. Derating is 154 mW/°C above +85 °C case temperature.
Is the 108190-HMC489LP5 pin-compatible with any evaluation board?
Yes - the 108190-HMC489LP5 is the designated device on Hittite's Evaluation PCB 108190, which uses Rogers 4350 substrate and includes SMA connectors (J1/J2), DC headers (J3/J4), and proper bypassing (100 pF + 2.2 μF per Vdd). The land pattern follows Hittite's recommended layout in the application note, ensuring RF and thermal integrity.
