Description
The CGB7015-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.
Operation of this device above any of these parameters may cause
permanent damage.
Applications
PA Driver Amp, IF Amp, LO Buffer Amp
Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS
Wireless Data and SATCOM
