General Description
MERA-7433+ is a dual matched wideband amplifier offering high dynamic range. It has repeatable perfor-
mance from lot to lot. It is enclosed in a 3.25 x 3.25 mm MCLP plastic package. MERA-7433+ uses Darlington
configuration and is fabricated using InGaP HBT technology. Expected MTBF at 85°C case temperature is 300
years for the entire device (A1 and A2).

Description
RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of
operation.
RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary
for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias without loss of RF signal due to the bias
connection, as shown in “Recommended Application Circuit”.
