MGA-30989
2 - 6GHz, High Linearity Gain Block
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies’ MGA-30989 is a broadband, high
linearity gain block MMIC amplifier achieved through
the use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs
Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.
The device required simple dc biasing components to
achieve wide bandwidth performance. The temperature
compensated internal bias circuit provides stable current
over temperature and process threshold voltage variation.
The MGA-30989 is housed inside a low cost RoHS
compliant SOT89 industry standard SMT package (4.5 x
4.1 x 1.5 mm).

Applications
•
IF amplifier, RF driver amplifier
•
General purpose gain block
Note:
1. Enhancement mode technology employs positive gate voltage,
thereby eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated
with conventional depletion mode devices.
Attention: Observe precautions for
handling electrostatic sensitive devices.

Notes:
1. Distribution data sample size is 3000 samples taken from 3 different
wafer lots. Future wafers allocated to this product may have nominal
values anywhere between the upper and lower limits.
2. Measurements were made on a characterization test board, which
represents a trade-off between optimal OIP3, gain and P1dB. Circuit
trace losses have not been de-embedded from measurements
above.
