Dual Matched High Dynamic Range Monolithic Ampliefi r MPGA-152+ 50 30 to 1500 MHz The Big Deal High IP3 4x4mm 24-lead, MCLP package High IP2 1.3W Output Power Product Overview MPGA-152+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced wideband dual amplifier fabricated using E-PHEMT* technology and offers extremely high dynamic range over a broad frequency range and with low noise figure and flat gain. In addition, the MPGA-152+ has excellent input and output return loss when used per suggested application circuit over a broad frequency range. It is enclosed in a 4x4mm, 24 lead MCLP package for very good thermal performance. Key Features Feature Advantages Broad Band: 0.03 to 1.5 GHz Covers VHF, UHF bands The MPGA-152+ matches industry leading IP3 performance relative to device size and High IP3 power consumption. The combination of the design and E-PHEMPT structure provides Versus DC power Consumption: enhanced linearity over a broad frequency range as evidence in the IP3 being typically 48 dBm typical at 0.5 GHz 14-19 dB above the P 1dB point. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in CATV applications. High IP2, 67 dBm at 0.5 GHz Suppresses second order product on wideband applications such as CATV Low noise figure performance in combination with the high output IP3 results in high Low Noise Figure, 2.7 dB at 0.5 GHz dynamic range.

This pad requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor RF IN, A2 6 RF input pad. This pad requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor RF output and bias pad. DC voltage is present on this pad therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias RF-OUT and DC-IN, A1 18 without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in Recommended Ap- plication Circuit, Fig. 1 RF output and bias pad.
