MGA-31489
0.1W High Gain Driver Amplifier
1.5GHz ~ 3GHz
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies MGA-31489 is a high performance
Driver Amplifier MMIC, housed in a standard SOT-89 plastic
package. The device features flat high gain with excellent
input and output return loss, as well as superior linearity
performance. The device can be easily matched to obtain
desired performance.
MGA-314389 is especially ideal for 50
Ω
wireless infrastruc-
ture application within the 1.5 GHz to 3 GHz frequency
range applications. With high IP3 and low noise figure and
wideband operation, the MGA-31489 may be utilized as
a driver amplifier in the transmit chain and as a second
stage LNA in the receiver chain.
This device uses Avago Technologies proprietary 0.25
mm
GaAs Enhancement mode PHEMT process.

Notes:
1. Data sample size is 1500 samples taken from 3 different wafers and 2 different lots. Future wafers allocated to this product may have nominal
values anywhere between the upper and lower limits.
2. Measurements are made on production test board which represents a trade-off between optimal Gain, NF, OIP3 and OP1dB. Circuit losses have
been de-embedded from actual measurements.
