Product Description
Features
RFMD’s CGA-1518Z is a high performance InGaP HBT MMIC Amplifier. Designed
with InGaP process technology for excellent reliability. A Darlington configuration is
utilized for broadband performance. The heterojunction increases breakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current between junctions. The CGA-1518Z contains
two amplifiers for use in wideband push-pull CATV amplifiers requiring excellent
second order performance. The second and third order non-linearities are greatly
improved in the push-pull configuration.

Description
RF input pin. External DC-blocking capacitor is required.
Connection to ground. Use via holes for best performance to reduce lead inductance as close to ground leads as
possible.
Same as pin 1.
RF output and bias pin (open collector).
Same as pin 5.
Exposed area on the bottom side of the package must be soldered to the ground plane of the board for optimum
thermal and RF performance. Several vias should be located under the EPAD as shown in the recommended
land pattern.
