BOSTON - Avago
Technologies today announced a new innovative flat gain, high linearity
low noise gain block that can be used as either a broadband gain block
or driver amplifier MMIC. Housed in an industry standard SOT-89 package
measuring 4.5mm by 4.1mm by 1.5 mm, Avago’s MGA-30689 flat gain, high
linearity gain block operates in the 40 to 2,600 MHz frequency band and
only requires a simple DC biasing match. Moreover, no additional RF
matching components are required to achieve wide bandwidth performance.
Avago is a leading supplier of analog interface components for
communications, industrial and consumer applications.
The ease-of-use and broadband performance of the MGA-30689 makes it an
ideal choice for designers of cellular devices, WiMAX wireless base
stations, satellite and cable TV set-top boxes, as well as a variety of
other wireless applications that operate within the 40 to 2,600 MHz
frequency range. The flat gain and high linearity features of this
device is achieved through the use of Avago’s proprietary 0.25 µm GaAs
enhancement-mode pHEMT process. The built-in temperature compensated
internal bias circuit also provides stable current over temperature and
process threshold voltage variations. Additionally, the broadband flat
gain feature is also great for use in other cellular infrastructure
designs that require the same driver amplifier or gain block for
different frequencies.
At a typical operating condition of 5V and 103mA, the MGA-30689 delivers
performance of 14dBm gain, 40dBm OIP3 and 22dBm P1dBm and 3.2dBm noise
figure at 1,950 MHz.
Key Features
* Flat Gain 14dB+/-0.5dB, 40 to 2600MHz
* High linearity
* Built in temperature compensated internal bias circuitry
* No RF matching components required
* GaAs E-pHEMT technology
* Single, fixed 5V supply
* Excellent uniformity in product specifications
* MSL-1: lead and halogen free
* High MTTF for base station applications
Avago will be demonstrating a variety of its
latest amplifiers at the 2009 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave
Symposium, which is being held this week at the Boston (MA) Convention
Center and Exhibition Center (Booth #1215).
