Description
The CGB7017-SC (-BD) is a Darlington Configured,
high dynamic range, utility gain block amplifier. Designed for
applications operating within the DC to 8.0 GHz frequency
range, Mimix’s broadband, cascadable, gain block amplifiers are
ideal solutions for transmit, receive and IF applications.
These MMIC amplifiers are available in bare die form
or an industry standard SOT-89 package. Mimix's InGaP HBT
technology and an industry low thermal resistance offers a
thermally robust and reliable gain block solution.
The InGaP HBT die have extra pads to enable
thorough DC testing. This unique test capability and the
inclusion of ESD protection on all die, significantly enhances
the quality, reliability and ruggedness of these products.
With a single bypass capacitor, optional RF choke
and two DC blocking capacitors, this gain block amplifier
offers significant ease of use in a broad range of applications.
