UAS3LK
32Gb/s Broadband3V Driver Amplifier
Features
• 3V Output
• 20 dB gain (adjustable)
• Hermetic* SMT Package
7X7x1.8mm
• Minimal external passives**
• ECCN 5A991b
Application
The UAS3LK is intended for test
and measurement applications using
simple NRZ or complex modulation
schemes. As a general purpose gain
block with flat, broadband gain, the
UAS3LK is also ideal for commercial
microwave radio and military electronic
warfare systems.
Description
The UAS3LK is a small, single channel, two stage, high-performance broadband
32 Gb/s amplifier with low jitter, 3V amplitude and 20dB gain. Integrated bias-Ts decouple
high frequency signals down to 10MHz; external inductors can be used to extend operation
to lower frequencies. The amplifier stages are fabricated in a production 0.15um GaAs pHEMT
process. The UAS3LK features adjustable gain and is housed in a hermetically sealed,
ceramic package designed for surface mount application to printed circuit boards.
The UAS3LK is RoHS compliant.
