Sirenza Microdevices SNA-286 is a GaAs monolithic broad-
band amplifier (MMIC) housed in a low-cost surface-mount-
able plastic package. At 1950 MHz, this amplifier provides
15.5dB of gain and +14dBm of P1dB power when biased at
50mA.
The use of an external resistor allows for bias flexibility and
stability. These unconditionally stable amplifiers are designed
for use as general purpose 50 ohm gain blocks.
Also available in chip form (SNA-200), its small size (0.33mm
x 0.33mm) and gold metallization make it an ideal choice for
use in hybrid circuits.

Description
RF input pin. This pin requires the use
of an external DC blocking capacitor
chosen for the frequency of operation.
Connection to ground. For optimum RF
performance, use via holes as close to
ground leads as possible to reduce lead
inductance.
