Product details
Overview
The 108344-HMC464LP5 from Analog Devices is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC power amplifier operating from 2 to 20 GHz, delivering +26 dBm P1dB output power, 14 dB small-signal gain, and +30 dBm output IP3 at +8 V/290 mA. It features 50 Ω matched I/O, ±0.5 dB gain flatness from 2–18 GHz, and is housed in a 5 × 5 mm leadless LFCSP package - ideal for EW, ECM, radar driver, and microwave test instrumentation applications.
For engineers reviewing the 108344-HMC464LP5 datasheet, 108344-HMC464LP5 pinout, 108344-HMC464LP5 application, or 108344-HMC464LP5 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, thermal and RF performance data across temperature, supply voltage, and frequency bands, plus validated alternative options for wideband RF power amplification design.
Technical Context
This distributed amplifier uses GaAs PHEMT technology with dual-gate biasing (Vgg1 and Vgg2) to enable stable broadband operation from 2–20 GHz. Its internal 50 Ω matching eliminates external matching networks, while the exposed ground paddle and 32-lead LFCSP package support high-frequency thermal and RF grounding integrity.
It operates at +8 V with 290 mA drain current, achieving +26 dBm P1dB and +30 dBm IP3 at 10 GHz. Gain flatness remains within ±0.5 dB from 2–18 GHz, and noise figure stays ≤6.0 dB across the band - enabling use as a driver stage in multi-octave systems without cascaded gain compensation.
Key Specifications

| 21 | RFOUT & Vdd | Combined RF output and drain supply node - DC bias must be injected via broadband bias tee or external network. |
| 30 | Vgg2 | Secondary gate control - +3 V applied for nominal operation; stabilizes gain and linearity. |
| Ground Paddle | GND | RF/DC ground reference - must be soldered to solid ground plane with multiple thermal vias for optimal RF stability and thermal dissipation. |
| 1–4, 6–14, 16–20, 22–29, 31–32 | N/C | No-connect pins - may be tied to ground without affecting RF performance; improves mechanical rigidity and grounding. |

FAQ
What is the recommended DC bias configuration for the 108344-HMC464LP5?
The 108344-HMC464LP5 requires +8 V drain supply (Vdd) applied to Pin 21, −0.5 V gate bias (Vgg1) adjusted between −2 V and 0 V on Pin 15 to achieve 290 mA Idd, and +3 V on Pin 30 (Vgg2) for nominal operation. Bias networks must use broadband chokes or bias tees to avoid RF leakage and ensure stability across 2–20 GHz.
Does the 108344-HMC464LP5 require external impedance matching?
No - the 108344-HMC464LP5 has internally matched 50 Ω input and output ports. Only AC coupling capacitors are needed at RFIN (Pin 5) and RFOUT (Pin 21); no external matching networks, stubs, or transformers are required for standard 50 Ω system integration.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum channel temperature for the 108344-HMC464LP5?
The 108344-HMC464LP5 has a channel-to-ground-paddle thermal resistance of 19.4 °C/W and a maximum channel temperature of 150 °C. To maintain reliability, the exposed ground paddle must be soldered to a thermally robust PCB ground plane with ≥6 thermal vias, especially under continuous +26 dBm output conditions.
Can the 108344-HMC464LP5 operate at supply voltages other than +8 V?
Yes - the 108344-HMC464LP5 is characterized from +7.5 V to +8.5 V. At +7.5 V, Idd is 292 mA and gain/P1dB decrease slightly; at +8.5 V, Idd drops to 288 mA. Operation outside +7.5–+8.5 V violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage.
Is the 108344-HMC464LP5 suitable for pulsed RF applications like radar?
Yes - the 108344-HMC464LP5 maintains stable gain and compression characteristics under pulsed conditions due to its GaAs PHEMT process and distributed architecture. Its fast turn-on/turn-off response and minimal gain recovery delay make it appropriate for medium-duty-cycle radar transmitter drivers.
