The CGB8002-SC is a single stage, high power, high dynamic
range, utility gain block amplifier. Designed for 3.3V applications
operating within the DC to 2.8 GHz frequency range, Mimix’s
broadband, cascadable, gain block amplifier is an ideal solution
for transmit, receive and IF applications. This MMIC amplifier is
available in an industry standard, RoHS compliant, SOT-89
package. Mimix's InGaP HBT technology and 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. This gain block amplifier offers
significant ease of use in a broad range of applications. The
combination of high gain, P1dB and high linear power at low
current makes the CGB8002-SC an ideal transmit and receive
solution when used in applications including 3G, fixed wireless
broadband, WLAN and WiMAX services operating from 2.1 to
2.7 GHz. The device is biased with a single +3.3V supply.
