HMC587LC4BTR

The HMC587LC4BTR is a microwave/mmic RF component from Hittite/Analog Devices. It’s an active GaAs MMIC device packaged in an LC4 leadless ceramic package with Tape & Reel (TR). Designed for front‑end RF/microwave use, it requires DC bias and external 50-ohm matching networks. Depending on the exact variant, it serves in roles such as a mixer or amplifier within a broadband RF chain, and is suited for applications like communications, radar, and test equipment. The suffixes indicate package type (LC4) and packaging (TR). For precise function, frequency range, gain, noise figure, bias pins, and port configuration, consult the latest HMC587LC4BTR datasheet and application notes from Analog Devices.

4 pins. It’s a two-port RF limiter (front-end protection) device in a leadless ceramic 4-pin package, with RF input and output pins and two ground pins (no external bias required).

Manufacturer: Analog Devices, Inc. (originally Hittite Microwave Corporation).
