In addition, the GVA-62+, has good input and output return loss over a broad frequency range without the need for external matching components and has demonstrated excellent reliability. Lead finish is SnAgNi. It has repeatable performance from lot to lot and is enclosed in a SOT-89 package for very good thermal performance. Key Features Feature Broad Band: 0.01 to 6.0 GHz Ultra Flat Gain, 15 dB High IP3 vs. DC power Consumption 39 dBm typical at 0.05 GHz 37 dBm typical at 0.8 GHz No External Matching Components Required Advantages Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands: Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX ±0.8 dB over 50 to 6000 MHz; ±0.20 dB over 700 to 2700 MHz eliminates need for gain flattening for most applications The GVA-62+ matches industry leading IP3 performance relative to device size and power consumption. The combination of the design and InGap HBT Structure provides enhanced linearity over a broad frequency range as evidence in the IP3 being typically 20 dB above the P 1dB point to 0.8 GHz. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in: • Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths • Drivers in linearized transmit systems GVA-62+ provides Input and Output Return Loss of 10-23 dB up to 3 GHz without the need for any external matching components Notes: a.

This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation. RF-OUT and DC-IN 3 RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in “Recommended Application Circuit”, Fig. 2 GND 2,4 Description Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB Design” to reduce ground path inductance for best performance. Notes: a.
