High Gain, Low Current Monolithic Ampliefi r PSA-8A+ 50 DC to 4 GHz The Big Deal CASE STYLE: CA1389 Wideband, DC to 4 GHz High Gain, 31 dB typ. at 0.1GHz Low NF 3.0 dB typ. at 0.1GHz Low Current, 36mA typ. Product Overview The PSA-8A+ is a HBT based wideband low noise MMIC Amplifier with high gain and low current. This design operates on a single 5V supply, is well matched for 50 Ohms and comes in a SOT-363 package, accommodating dense circuit board layouts. Key Features Feature Advantages High Gain, 31 dB typ. at 0.1GHz Enables signal amplification without the need for multiple gain stages. Enables lower system noise figure performance. Low NF and High Gain results in lower NF Low Noise, 3.0 dB typ. at 0.1GHz systems Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transi- SOT-363 Package tions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB.
