Gain Block Amplifiers

Atlanta Micro’s AM1018 is a cascadable gain block amplifier with 13 dB gain, a 2.5 dB noise figure, +35 dBm OIP3, +18/+21 dBm P1db, a 3.3V, 84 mA/+5.0V, 106 mA supply, a -40C to +85C operating temperature, and unconditional stability. It’s operational to +1.7V and comes in a 3mm QFN package.

Avago Technologies’ 2-6 GHz High Linearity Gain Block: MGA-30789 is a broadband, high linearity gain block MMIC amplifier achieved through the use of Avago Technologies' propietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.

Celeritek's CGB7389-SC is a single stage, high power, high dynamic range, utility gain block amplifier...

The SPF-5344Z is a high performance, two-stage pHEMT MMIC LNA that offers low noise figure and high linearity in a gain block configuration. Its single-supply operation and integrated matching networks make implementation remarkably simple. The off-chip interstage choke and DC block allow for optimum performance tuning.

This gain block amplifier covers the 20 MHz to 8 GHz frequency range. It exhibits flat gain (19 dB), a 2.5 dB noise figure, and unconditional stability over the -40C to +85C operating temperature range. It comes in a 3mm QFN package and is operational to 1.7V.

RFMD’s RFDS0045 is a Digital Controlled Variable Gain Amplifier operating in the 10MHZ to 850MHZ frequency range. It features SPI serial control programming, a max gain of 44dB at 150MHz, a gain control range of 31.5dB (0.5dB Step Size), high OIP3 of 42dBm at 150MHz, high P1dB = 20dBm at 150MHz, a single +5V supply, a small 32-Pin, 5.2mm x 5.2mm MCM, a footprint compatible with 5mm x 5mm, 32-Pin QFN, and power-up programming. This amplifier is ideal for Transceiver IF DVA, Cellular, PCS, GSM, UMTS, Wireless Data, and Satellite Terminal applications.

Celeritek’s CGB7289-SC is a single stage, high power, high dynamic range, utility gain block amplifier. It is designed as a broad band amplifier from 0.1 to 2.5 GHz

Avago Technologies’ DC - 6000 MHz InGap HBT Gain Block: AVT-50663 is an economical, easy-to-use, general purpose InGaP HBT MMIC gain block amplifier utilizing Darlington pair configuration housed in a 6-lead (SOT-363) surface mount plastic package.
