SPF-5043Z 50MHz to 4000MHz, GaAs pHEMT Low Noise MMIC Amplifier SPF-5043Z Preliminary 50MHz to 4000MHz, GaAs pHEMT LOW NOISE MMIC AMPLIFIER RoHS Compliant and Pb-Free Product Product Description Features The SPF-5043Z is a high performance pHEMT MMIC LNA designed for operation from 50MHz to 4000MHz. The on-chip active bias network provides stable current over temperature and process threshold voltage variations. The SPF-5043Z offers ultra-low noise figure and high linearity performance in a gain block configuration. Its single-supply operation and integrated matching networks make implementation remarkably simple. A high maximum input power specification make it ideal for high dynamic range receivers. 2 4 .0 GaAs MESFET 2 1 .0 3 .5 InGaP HBT 1 8 .0 3 .0 1 5 .0 2 .5 1 2 .0 2 .0 9 .0 1 .5 Gain (dB) Si BiCMOS SiGe HBT GaAs pHEMT Si BJT 0 .5 0 .0 GaN HEMT 1 .0 G a in NF 3 .0 4 .0 6 .0 Si CMOS GaAs HBT SiGe BiCMOS 9 G a in & N F ve rsu s F re q u e n c y B ro a d b a n d A p p lic a tio n C irc u it (5 V , 4 6 m A ) NF (dB) Optimum Technology Matching® Applied Ultra-Low Noise Figure=0.8dB @ 900MHz Gain=18.2dB @ 900MHz High Linearity: OIP3=35dBm @ 1900MHz P1dB =21dBm @ 1900MHz Single-Supply Operation: 5V @ IDQ =46mA Flexible Biasing Options: 3V to 5V, Adjustable Current Broadband Internal Matching Applications Cellular, PCS, W-CDMA, ISM, WiMAX Receivers Low Noise, High Linearity Gain Block Applications 0 .0 0 .0 0 .5 RF MEMS 1 .0 1 .5 2 .0 2 .5 3 .0 3 .5 4 .0 F re q u e n cy (M H z) Parameter Small Signal Power Gain Min.
