Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AMMP-5618-TR2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Frequency Coverage: Substitute parts must support the full 6GHz to 20GHz operating range or encompass it within a broader range
• Supply Voltage Compatibility: Primary supply voltage of 5V is required; parts supporting extended voltage ranges (5V to 12V) remain compatible
• Gain and P1dB Performance: Substitute parts must deliver comparable output power and gain characteristics suitable for the target RF applications
• Noise Figure: Performance within the 4dB to 4.5dB range maintains signal integrity for ISM and satellite communication applications
• Mounting and Package: Surface mount technology with compatible footprints ensures PCB integration feasibility
• Product Status: Active parts are prioritized to ensure long-term availability and supply chain continuity

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HMC441LC3BTR (Analog Devices Inc.)

This part maintains 5V supply voltage compatibility and delivers comparable electrical performance with 20dBm P1dB and 14dB gain. The frequency range of 6GHz to 18GHz covers the primary operating band of the AMMP-5618-TR2, with a minor upper frequency limitation at 18GHz versus 20GHz. The part is active and ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory compliance and supply availability. Package footprint differs (12-CSMT versus 8-SMD), requiring PCB layout modification.

MAAM-011101-TR1000 (MACOM Technology Solutions)

This part provides the broadest frequency coverage (4GHz to 20GHz), encompassing the full 6GHz to 20GHz requirement with extended lower frequency capability. It delivers superior gain (16dB) and improved noise figure (4dB). The part supports extended supply voltage operation (5V to 12V) and demonstrates significantly lower supply current (45mA versus 107mA–140mA), reducing power consumption. The part is active, ROHS3 compliant, and features MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), indicating superior handling characteristics. Package footprint differs (6-TDFN versus 8-SMD), requiring PCB layout modification.

Both substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete AMMP-5618-TR2.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HMC441LC3BTR be used as a direct replacement for AMMP-5618-TR2?

A: HMC441LC3BTR meets the core electrical requirements (5V supply, comparable gain and P1dB, noise figure within specification). However, the frequency upper limit is 18GHz versus 20GHz for the original part. Applications requiring operation above 18GHz require evaluation. The package footprint differs (12-CSMT versus 8-SMD), necessitating PCB redesign.

Q: What are the advantages of MAAM-011101-TR1000 over HMC441LC3BTR?

A: MAAM-011101-TR1000 provides extended frequency coverage (4GHz to 20GHz), superior gain (16dB), lower noise figure (4dB), and significantly reduced supply current (45mA). These characteristics make it suitable for power-constrained applications and designs requiring full 20GHz upper frequency operation.

Q: Are package changes required when substituting either part?

A: Yes. The AMMP-5618-TR2 uses an 8-SMD (5x5) package. HMC441LC3BTR uses 12-CSMT (3x3), and MAAM-011101-TR1000 uses 6-TDFN (1.5x1.2). PCB layout and routing modifications are necessary for either substitute.

Q: What is the impact of different supply current ratings?

A: MAAM-011101-TR1000 requires 45mA compared to 107mA–140mA for AMMP-5618-TR2. This reduction decreases power dissipation and thermal load, potentially improving system efficiency and reducing cooling requirements.

Q: Are both substitute parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both HMC441LC3BTR and MAAM-011101-TR1000 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original AMMP-5618-TR2 is REACH unaffected but predates ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For designs requiring full 20GHz operation with lower power consumption, MAAM-011101-TR1000 is preferred. For applications with 18GHz upper frequency limits and standard power budgets, HMC441LC3BTR is suitable. Both are active products with established supply chains.
