Description

This E-pHEMT RFIC is an easy-to-use high linearity low noise amplifier built-in with Smart Bias function. For Smart Bias function, one external resistor is used to set the bias current taken by the device over a wide range. MGA-62563 allows the designer to use the same part in several circuit positions and tailor the linearity performance and current consumption to suit each position.

MGA-62563 is ideal as an IF amplifier or driver amplifier for Cellular/PCS/W-CDMA base stations, WLL, Fixed Wireless Access, Wireless LAN and other high performance applications in the 0.1 to 3 GHz frequency range.

Agilent's MGA-62563 is an economical, easy-to-use GaAs MMIC amplifier that offers excellent linearity and low noise figure for applications from 0.1 to 3 GHz. Packaged in an miniature SOT-363 package, it requires half the board space of a SOT-143 package.

One external resistor is used to set the bias current taken by the device over a wide range. This allows the designer to use the same part in several circuit positions and tailor the linearity performance (and current consumption) to suit each position.

The MGA-62563 is normally operating with Id set in the 20- 80mA range The output of the amplifier is matched to 50 (below 2:1 VSWR) across the entire bandwidth and only requires minimum input matching. The amplifier allows a wide dynamic range by offering a 0.9 dB NF coupled with a +32.9 dBm Output IP3. The circuit uses state-of-the-art E-pHEMT technology with proven reliability. On-chip bias circuitry allows operation from a single +3V or +5V power supply.
