Product details
Overview
EVAL01-HMC962LC4 from Analog Devices is an evaluation PCB designed to characterize the HMC962LC4 GaAs pHEMT MMIC low-noise amplifier operating from 7.5–26.5 GHz, delivering 13 dB small-signal gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, +13 dBm P1dB output power, and +23 dBm output IP3 under +3.5 V / 70 mA bias - ideal for microwave radio front-end validation.
For engineers reviewing the EVAL01-HMC962LC4 datasheet, EVAL01-HMC962LC4 pinout, EVAL01-HMC962LC4 application, or EVAL01-HMC962LC4 equivalent, this board provides calibrated RF test access via 2.92 mm connectors, DC bias headers (J3–J8), and verified matching network layout on Rogers 4350 substrate - enabling rapid LNA performance verification across military, point-to-point radio, and test instrumentation use cases.
Technical Context
The EVAL01-HMC962LC4 implements a fully populated, impedance-controlled reference design for the HMC962LC4 LNA, featuring AC-coupled 50 Ω input/output paths, dual +3.5 V supply rails (Vdd1/Vdd2), and integrated bypassing with 100 pF (C1/C2), 1000 pF (C5/C6), and 2.2 µF tantalum (C9/C10) capacitors per Analog Devices' recommended application circuit.
It supports full RF characterization from –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range using 2.92 mm coaxial connectors (J1/J2) for S-parameter and compression measurements, while maintaining thermal stability via direct paddle grounding and optional heatsink mounting - consistent with the HMC962LC4's 167.6 °C/W channel-to-ground thermal resistance and MSL3 reflow compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| PCB Material | Rogers 4350 or Arlon 25FR - enables stable 50 Ω microstrip routing up to 26.5 GHz with low dielectric loss. |
| RF Connectors | J1/J2: 2.92 mm female - supports accurate vector network analyzer measurements through Ka-band without mode conversion. |
| DC Bias Interface | J3–J8: Through-hole headers - allow independent control and monitoring of Vdd1/Vdd2 and ground return paths during bias sweeps. |
| Bypass Network | C1/C2 = 100 pF (0402); C5/C6 = 1000 pF (0603); C9/C10 = 2.2 µF tantalum - ensures broadband supply decoupling from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. |
| Grounding Architecture | Exposed paddle soldered to internal/external ground planes with multiple vias - minimizes inductance and maintains HMC962LC4's specified 10 dB input return loss. |
| Thermal Management | Mounting holes and paddle pad compatible with external heatsink - required to sustain continuous operation at 70 mA and prevent channel temperature exceedance beyond 150 °C. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the EVAL01-HMC962LC4?
The EVAL01-HMC962LC4 is a dedicated evaluation PCB that enables full RF characterization of the HMC962LC4 GaAs pHEMT low-noise amplifier. It provides calibrated 2.92 mm RF interfaces, controlled-impedance traces, and optimized biasing to validate gain, noise figure, IP3, and P1dB performance across 7.5–26.5 GHz - not a standalone IC or active component.
Does the EVAL01-HMC962LC4 include the HMC962LC4 amplifier IC?
Yes, the EVAL01-HMC962LC4 evaluation board includes one mounted HMC962LC4 amplifier IC in its 24-lead 4×4 mm ceramic SMT package. The board is shipped fully assembled with all passive components, connectors, and the U1 HMC962LC4 device installed per Analog Devices' reference layout.
What RF connector type is used on the EVAL01-HMC962LC4?
The EVAL01-HMC962LC4 uses two 2.92 mm female coaxial connectors (J1 and J2) for RF input and output. This interface supports accurate S-parameter measurements up to 40 GHz, ensuring minimal mismatch and repeatability when evaluating the HMC962LC4's 7.5–26.5 GHz performance.
Can the EVAL01-HMC962LC4 be used for thermal testing of the HMC962LC4?
Yes, the EVAL01-HMC962LC4 supports thermal evaluation: its exposed ground paddle is soldered to internal/external ground planes, and mounting holes are provided for heatsink attachment - directly addressing the HMC962LC4's 167.6 °C/W thermal resistance and 150 °C max channel temperature specification.
Is the EVAL01-HMC962LC4 compatible with standard RF test equipment?
Yes, the EVAL01-HMC962LC4 is fully compatible with industry-standard RF test equipment including vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators. Its 2.92 mm connectors, 50 Ω matched lines, and DC bias headers (J3–J8) enable direct integration into lab setups for measuring HMC962LC4 parameters such as gain flatness, noise figure, and intermodulation distortion.
