Product details
Overview
The 108341-HMC463LP5 from Analog Devices is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC low-noise AGC amplifier operating from 2–20 GHz, delivering 13 dB gain, 2.8 dB noise figure at 10 GHz, +18 dBm P1dB output power, and 8 dB typical adjustable gain control via Vgg2 - deployed in military EW/ECM radar front-ends and broadband test instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the 108341-HMC463LP5 datasheet, 108341-HMC463LP5 pinout, 108341-HMC463LP5 application, or 108341-HMC463LP5 equivalent, this page provides verified RF performance data, 32-pin LFCSP package interface details, temperature-stable gain flatness (±0.5 dB over 6–18 GHz), and real-world selection guidance for high-frequency receiver chain design.
Technical Context
This distributed amplifier uses GaAs pHEMT technology to achieve broadband operation across 2–20 GHz with internally matched 50 Ω I/Os and integrated DC blocking. Its dual-gate architecture supports fixed-bias operation (Vgg1) and optional AGC (Vgg2), enabling dynamic range control without external attenuators.
Gain flatness of ±0.5 dB from 6–18 GHz and noise figure under 4 dB across 2–18 GHz confirm suitability for wideband receiver front-ends where amplitude consistency and sensitivity are critical. The device operates from a single +5 V supply drawing 60 mA, with thermal resistance of 52.3 °C/W to ground paddle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Frequency Range | 2–20 GHz - full-band operation enables single-device coverage of S-, C-, X-, Ku-, and lower K-band signals. |
| Gain | 13 dB typical @ 10 GHz - sufficient for cascaded LNA stages without excessive interstage loss compensation. |
| Noise Figure | 2.8 dB @ 10 GHz - low added noise preserves SNR in sensitive RF receivers. |
| P1dB Output Power | +18 dBm @ 10 GHz - supports high-dynamic-range signal chains before compression. |
| Supply Current | 60 mA @ +5 V - low power draw simplifies thermal management in dense RF modules. |
| Gain Flatness | ±0.5 dB over 6–18 GHz - ensures consistent channel response in broadband systems like ECM and vector signal analyzers. |
| Input/Output Match | 50 Ω internal match - eliminates need for external matching networks in 50 Ω system designs. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-noise AGC amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC463LP5E | RoHS-compliant variant with matte Sn finish; identical electrical specs and pinout; max reflow temp 260 °C vs. 235 °C. | Required for lead-free manufacturing; same RF performance and thermal behavior in final assembly. | Select HMC463LP5E when RoHS compliance or Pb-free reflow is mandated; otherwise HMC463LP5 offers legacy Sn/Pb compatibility. |
| HMC619LP5E | Higher gain (17 dB), higher NF (3.5 dB), narrower band (4–16 GHz); same 5×5 mm LFCSP package and AGC capability. | Better suited for mid-band focused systems needing higher gain but less wideband coverage. | Choose HMC619LP5E only if 4–16 GHz suffices and >13 dB gain is prioritized over 2–20 GHz continuity. |
Compared with HMC463LP5E and HMC619LP5E, the 108341-HMC463LP5 uniquely balances ultra-wideband coverage (2–20 GHz), tight gain flatness (±0.5 dB), and proven field deployment in EW platforms - making it the preferred choice when full-S-to-Ku-band operation and AGC flexibility are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 108341-HMC463LP5?
The 108341-HMC463LP5 is specified for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. Electrical performance data-including gain, noise figure, and P1dB-is characterized at +25 °C, with gain variation over temperature at 0.015 dB/°C maximum. Thermal resistance from channel to ground paddle is 52.3 °C/W, requiring proper heatsinking above 85 °C case temperature.
Does the 108341-HMC463LP5 require external matching components?
No, the 108341-HMC463LP5 features internally matched 50 Ω input and output ports with integrated DC blocking. RFIN (Pin 5) and RFOUT (Pin 21) are AC-coupled and ready for direct connection to 50 Ω transmission lines-eliminating external matching networks and reducing board space and insertion loss in RF layouts.
How is adjustable gain control (AGC) implemented on the 108341-HMC463LP5?
AGC on the 108341-HMC463LP5 is implemented via Vgg2 (Pin 2), which accepts a control voltage from −1.5 V to 0 V to deliver up to 8 dB of gain variation. When AGC is not needed, Vgg2 is left open-circuited. Gain vs. Vgg2 curves show monotonic reduction across 10 GHz, enabling precise analog gain scaling in closed-loop receiver systems.
What is the absolute maximum drain voltage rating for the 108341-HMC463LP5?
The absolute maximum drain bias voltage (Vdd) for the 108341-HMC463LP5 is +9 V. However, the device is characterized and intended for operation at +5 V (60 mA), where it delivers optimal gain, noise figure, and linearity. Exceeding +5 V risks increased current draw, thermal stress, and accelerated degradation without performance benefit.
Is the 108341-HMC463LP5 pin-compatible with other HMC-series amplifiers?
The 108341-HMC463LP5 uses the standard 32-lead 5×5 mm LFCSP (HCP-32-1) footprint shared with several HMC amplifiers including HMC463LP5E and HMC619LP5E. While mechanical pinout is identical, electrical functionality differs - e.g., HMC619LP5E has different gain/NF trade-offs and frequency limits - so circuit-level validation is required before substitution.
