Dc–15GHz Darlington amplifier is fully-matched, current-adjustable

MACOM Technology Solutions MAAM-011206 versatile, dc–15GHz Darlington amplifier provides 13.5dB typical gain and +18dBm of output power. The input and output are fully matched to 50Ω. Third order linearity (OIP3) is typically +28dBm and reverse isolation is greater than 21dB. Functional operation is achieved with a single bias voltage V_DD, from +3 V to +5 V. Current adjustment is available with an external bias resistor. Device is housed in a leadless 1.5mm x 1.2mm plastic SMT package compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. Product is fabricated using a GaAs process which features full passivation for increased performance and reliability.
