MMIC Amplifiers Offer High Output Power And Positive Bias

Custom MMIC, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), has added three new GaAs MMIC power amplifiers covering 5 to 11 GHz to their growing standard product library. The CMD169P4 (5 – 7 GHz), CMD170P4 (7.5 – 9 GHz) and CMD171P4 (9.5 – 11 GHz) each have an output 1 dB compression point of greater than +28 dBm, with gain levels from 20 to 30 dB. All three designs require only positive bias, thereby eliminating the need for costly and complicated sequencing circuitry. They also offer an on-chip detector for applications where power leveling is required. The amplifiers are housed in Pb-free RoHs compliant 4x4 QFN plastic packages and are 50-ohm matched on the input and output ports. DC blocks are not required.

To download the full datasheets on the CMD169P4, CMD170P4, and CMD171P4, visit the Custom MMIC Amplifiers Design Library (http://custommmic.com/Product-Library/Amplifiers/).
