See our web site for RoHS Compliance methodologies and qualifications APPLICATIONS y WiFi y WLAN y UMTS y LTE y WiMAX y S-band Radar y C-band Satcom PRODUCT OVERVIEW The PMA2-123LN+ is a PHEMT based wideband, low noise MMIC amplifier with a unique combination of low noise, high IP3, and flat gain over wideband making it ideal for sensitive, high-dynamic-range receiver applications. This design operates on a single 5V or 6V supply, is well matched for 50 and comes in a tiny, low profile package (2 x 2 mm, 8 lead MCLP), accommodating dense circuit board layouts. KEY FEATURES Feature Advantages Low noise y 2.2 dB at 2 GHz Enables lower system noise figure performance. y 2.6 dB at 8 GHz High IP3 Combination of low noise and high IP3 makes this MMIC amplifier ideal for use in low noise receiver front end y +28 dBm at 2 GHz (RFE) as it gives the user advantages of sensitivity and two-tone IM performance at both ends of the dynamic range. y +27 dBm at 8 GHz Low operating voltage, 5V/6V. Achieves high IP3 using low voltage. Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transitions, and excel- 2 x 2mm 8-lead MCLP package lent thermal contact to the PCB. Wide bandwidth with flat gain y 0.3 dB over 0.5 to 2 GHz y 0.7 dB over 0.5 to 6 GHz Enables usage in wideband applications flatttering networks. y 1.2 dB over 0.5 to 8 GHz y 2.0 dB over 0.5 to 12 GHz REV.
