Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-HMC8500 Board for the HMC8500 RF Amplifier
Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-HMC8500 Board for the HMC8500 RF Amplifier helps designers evaluate the features of the HMC8500 RF Amplifiers. This Rogers 4350B 2-layer printed PCB board adheres to the best practices for high-frequency design. Both the RF input and RF output traces have a 50Ω characteristic impedance.
The Analog Devices board is attached to a heatsink using an electrically and thermally conductive epoxy. The design allows the board to provide a low thermal and low DC resistance path. Components are mounted on the board using an SN63 solder method. This allows designers to rework the surface-mount components without compromising the circuit board to heatsink attachment. The evaluation board and its components operate over the −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. During operation, designers can attach the evaluation board to a temperature-controlled plate to control the temperature of the HMC8500 during operation.
