This design operates on a single 5V supply, is well matched for 50 and comes in a tiny, low profile package (3 x 3 x 0.89mm), accommodating dense circuit board layouts. KEY FEATURES Feature Advantages Low noise, 0.6 dB at 2.5 GHz Enables lower system noise figure performance. Wide bandwidth with flat gain Enables a single amplifier to be used in many wideband applications including defense, instrumentation and more. y 1.6 dB over 2.5 to 5 GHz Enables signal amplification without the need for multiple gain stage. Thus minimize effect of subsequent stages on High Gain, 29.7 dB at 2.5 GHz noise figure. High IP3 Combination of low noise and high IP3 makes this MMIC amplifier ideal for use in low noise receiver front end (RFE) as y +28.6 dBm at 2.5 GHz it gives the user advantages of sensitivity and two-tone IM performance at both ends of the dynamic range. Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transitions, and excellent 3 x 3mm 12-lead MCLP package thermal contact to the PCB. REV.
