LEE-9+
DC to 8 GHz
The Big Deal
• Low Gain
• Excellent Gain flatness, ±0.5 dB up to 8 GHz
• Broadband matched
3mm x 3mm MCLP package
Product Overview
LEE-9+ (RoHS compliant) is wideband current driven amplifier fabricated using HBT technology. In addition, the LEE-9+, has good input and output return loss over a broad frequency range without the need for
external matching components. Lead finish is SnAgNi. It has repeatable performance from lot to lot and is
enclosed in a 3mm x 3mm x 0.89mm MCLP package for very good thermal performance.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Broadband, DC* to 8 GHz
(* Low frequency cut off determined by
external coupling capacitors)
A single amplifier covering DC* to C band.
• Reduced component inventory
• Ideal for wideband applications such as instrumentation and military
Low gain:
8.5 dB typ. at 0.1 GHz and
7.7 dB at 8 GHz
Ideal for increasing the gain of amplifier chain by low value.
Typically small gain change may need two components; an amplifier and an attenutaor.
Use of LEE-9+ reduces component count.
Outstanding Gain Flatness:
±0.4 dB
No need for gain flatness compensation over 8 GHz band to realize published gain flatness.
Wideband matched
Input return loss: 17-29 dB typ.
Output return loss: 12-34 dB typ.
MCLP Package
No external matching required to realize published return loss.
Low inductance, repeatable transitions, excellent thermal pad.

Description
1
RF input pin. 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”.

Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB
