REVIEW
This general purpose amplifier is a low
cost, broadband RFIC manufactured with
an InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar
Transistor (HBT) process (MOCVD).
This RFIC amplifier was designed as an
easily cascadable 50 ohm gain block. The
device is self-contained with 50 ohm input
and output impedance. Applications in-
clude IF and RF amplification in wireless/
wired voice and data communication
products and broadband test equipment
operating up to 6 GHz.
This RFIC amplifier is initially
available in a plastic SOT-89 3-Pin
package to handle P1dB output power up
to 19dBm (5V). The same RFIC will be
available later in an advanced Microsemi
Gigamite™ package, with significantly
smaller footprint for applications where
board space is at a premium.
