Product details
Overview
HMC580ST89 from Hittite Microwave Corporation is an InGaP HBT gain block MMIC amplifier operating from DC to 1 GHz, delivering 22 dB small-signal gain, +22 dBm P1dB output power, and +37 dBm OIP3 at 250 MHz. It functions as a cascadable 50 Ω RF/IF gain stage or LO driver in cellular infrastructure, fixed wireless, and test equipment, powered by a single +5 V supply in SOT89 package.
For engineers reviewing the HMC580ST89 datasheet, HMC580ST89 pinout, HMC580ST89 application, or HMC580ST89 equivalent, key selection criteria include its temperature-stable gain (±0.005 dB/°C), minimal external biasing (Rbias = 1.8 Ω), 2.8 dB noise figure, and SOT89-compatible layout for compact RF designs.
Technical Context
The HMC580ST89 employs monolithic InGaP HBT technology to achieve broadband DC–1 GHz operation with cascadable 50 Ω input/output impedance. Its internal two-stage topology enables stable gain and output power across –40°C to +85°C without active thermal compensation.
It operates with a fixed collector bias voltage of +5 V (absolute max +5.5 V), draws 88–110 mA quiescent current, and requires only one external bias resistor (Rbias) and two DC-blocking capacitors-no matching networks needed for 50 Ω systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Frequency Range | DC to 1 GHz - supports baseband, IF, and sub-1 GHz RF stages without band switching. |
| Small-Signal Gain | 22 dB typical (DC–250 MHz) - enables single-stage amplification without cascading for moderate gain requirements. |
| P1dB Output Power | +22 dBm typical (DC–250 MHz) - sufficient to drive mixers, modulators, or subsequent PA stages directly. |
| OIP3 | +37 dBm typical (at 250 MHz, Pout = 0 dBm/tone) - ensures low distortion in multi-tone WCDMA/CDMA applications. |
| Noise Figure | 2.8 dB typical (DC–1 GHz) - suitable for receiver front-end or IF amplifier roles where SNR preservation matters. |
| Supply Voltage | +5 V single supply - simplifies power architecture; compatible with standard logic rails and LDOs. |
| Quiescent Current | 88–110 mA - sets thermal dissipation (~0.59 W max at 85°C) and heatsink requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Industry-standard SOT89 (3-lead variant with exposed thermal pad; pins 2 and 4 are GND, pin 3 is OUT/Vcc, pin 1 is IN). Molded plastic body, Sn/Pb lead finish, MSL1 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IN) | RF Input | DC-coupled input requiring external blocking capacitor; 50 Ω impedance match enables direct cascade into preceding stage. |
| 2 & 4 (GND) | RF/DC Ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; package bottom also serves as thermal and RF ground path. |
| 3 (OUT) | RF Output / Vcc Supply | Combined RF output and DC bias node; requires external DC-blocking capacitor and bypassing for stable +5 V delivery. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Gain stability over temperature | ±0.005 dB/°C - eliminates need for gain control loops in industrial temperature ranges. |
| Input/output return loss | ≥19 dB (DC–1 GHz) - reduces mismatch-induced ripple and simplifies system-level VSWR management. |
| Reverse isolation | 23 dB (DC–1 GHz) - prevents oscillator pulling and improves stability in feedback-sensitive circuits. |
| ESD robustness | HBM Class 1C (≥1 kV) - withstands handling in standard assembly environments without special precautions beyond standard ESD protocols. |
Applications
| Cellular Base Station IF Amplifier | Fixed Wireless Access Front-End |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar gain block applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC487ST89 | Higher frequency range (DC–2.5 GHz), +23 dB gain, +38 dBm OIP3, +23 dBm P1dB; requires +6 V supply. | Better suited for 2.4 GHz WLAN or microwave radio IF; higher supply voltage increases power management complexity. | Select when extending bandwidth beyond 1 GHz is required and +6 V rail is available. |
| QPL9057 | DC–6 GHz, 19 dB gain, +21 dBm P1dB, +35 dBm OIP3, +3.3 V supply, 5-pin SOT-363 package. | Smaller footprint and lower voltage, but lower gain and narrower dynamic range than HMC580ST89. | Prefer for space-constrained 5G FWA or IoT gateway designs where 3.3 V operation and size outweigh gain/IP3 needs. |
Compared with HMC487ST89 and QPL9057, the HMC580ST89 offers optimal balance of gain, linearity, and thermal stability in the DC–1 GHz band with minimal external components-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding infrastructure applications where +5 V supply is standard.

FAQ
What is the recommended bias resistor value for HMC580ST89 at +5 V supply?
The HMC580ST89 datasheet specifies Rbias = 1.8 Ω for +5 V operation to set ICQ ≈ 88 mA. This value ensures stable quiescent current across temperature and maintains specified gain and linearity. Using a precision 1.8 Ω resistor (1% tolerance, ≥0.25 W) is advised to avoid drift-induced performance variation in the HMC580ST89.
Does HMC580ST89 require external matching networks for 50 Ω systems?
No, the HMC580ST89 features internally matched 50 Ω input and output impedances across DC–1 GHz. Only external DC-blocking capacitors on IN and OUT pins are mandatory; no series/shunt matching components are needed for standard 50 Ω cascade use. This simplifies layout and reduces bill-of-materials for the HMC580ST89.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for HMC580ST89?
The HMC580ST89 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient. Its InGaP HBT process delivers excellent gain and output power stability over this range (gain variation ≤ ±0.005 dB/°C), making it suitable for outdoor base stations and industrial RF equipment where thermal cycling occurs. Junction temperature must not exceed 150°C.
Can HMC580ST89 be used as a power amplifier stage?
Yes-the HMC580ST89 delivers up to +26 dBm saturated output power and is qualified as a driver-stage PA in applications like LO distribution and medium-power IF amplification. While not a final-stage PA, its +22 dBm P1dB and +37 dBm OIP3 make it effective for driving mixers, modulators, or subsequent amplifier stages in the HMC580ST89 signal chain.
Is HMC580ST89 RoHS-compliant?
The HMC580ST89 uses Sn/Pb lead finish and is not RoHS-compliant; the RoHS-compliant variant is HMC580ST89E (100% matte tin, MSL1, 260°C reflow). Both share identical electrical specs and pinout. For new designs targeting RoHS compliance, HMC580ST89E is the appropriate choice-HMC580ST89 remains viable for legacy or exempt applications.
