Description
Operation of this device above any of these parameters may cause
permanent damage.
May 2006 - Rev 23-May-06
The CGB7289-SC is a single stage, high power, high
dynamic range, utility gain block amplifier. Designed for
applications operating within the DC to 2.5 GHz frequency
range, Mimix's broadband, cascadable, gain block amplifier is
an ideal solution for transmit, receive and IF applications.
This MMIC amplifier is available in an industry
standard SOT-89 package. Mimix's InGaP HBT technology and
an industry low thermal resistance offers a
thermally robust
and reliable gain block solution.
The InGaP HBT die have extra pads to enable
thorough DC testing. This unique test capability and the
inclusion of ESD protection on all die, significantly enhances
the quality, reliability and ruggedness of these products.
This gain block amplifier offers significant ease of
use in a broad range of applications. The combination of
high gain, P1dB and high OIP3 at low current makes the
CGB7289-SC an ideal transmit and receive solution when
used in applications including cellular, PCS and 3G services
operating from 0.8 to 2.2 GHz.
