Overview
Description
HMC900LP5ETR is a broadband GaAs MMIC RF amplifier from Hittite Microwave (now Analog Devices). It comes in a compact leadless package (LP5) and provides a 50-ohm input/output RF front-end suitable for integration into wireless, radar, and test/measurement systems. The device typically requires only a few external components for biasing and impedance matching, making it convenient for compact front-end blocks. Applications include LNA/driver stages or gain blocks across GHz frequencies (exact bands vary by variant). For precise specifications—frequency range, gain, noise figure, IP3, P1dB, supply voltage, and current—consult the official HMC900LP5ETR datasheet and evaluation board. Follow Analog Devices’ application notes for biasing, decoupling, and layout to ensure optimal performance.

Pinout
I don’t have web access to pull the HMC900LP5ETR datasheet. I can’t reliably state pin count/functions without it. Typically "LP5" indicates a 5‑lead package and "ETR" = tape‑and‑reel, but please upload the datasheet or allow me to look it up and I’ll give exact pin assignments.
Manufacturer
Manufacturer: Analog Devices, Inc. (product line originally from Hittite Microwave Corporation — “HMC” prefix).
What kind of company: Analog Devices is a multinational semiconductor company that designs and manufactures analog, mixed-signal and RF/microwave integrated circuits and modules for communications, instrumentation, aerospace/defense, and industrial markets. Hittite was a specialized RF/microwave semiconductor firm acquired by Analog Devices in 2014, and its HMC series parts are now sold under the Analog Devices brand.

Package
I can’t fetch the HMC900LP5ETR datasheet right now. Typically, "LP5" denotes a 5 × 5 mm leadless (QFN-style) package and "TR" means tape-and-reel; "E" often indicates a lead-free/RoHS version. Provide the datasheet or allow lookup for exact confirmation.
