SPF-5122Z 50MHz to 4000MHz, GaAs pHEMT Low Noise MMIC Amplifier SPF-5122Z Preliminary 50MHz to 4000MHz, GaAs pHEMT LOW NOISE MMIC AMPLIFIER RoHS Compliant and Pb-Free Product Product Description Features The SPF-5122Z 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-5122Z 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. 25.0 GaAs HBT GaAs MESFET InGaP HBT Gain (dB) SiGe BiCMOS Si BiCMOS SiGe HBT 9 GaAs pHEMT Si CMOS Gain and NF versus Frequency Broadband Application Circuit (5V, 90mA) Si BJT 4.00 22.0 3.50 19.0 3.00 16.0 2.50 13.0 2.00 10.0 1.50 7.0 1.00 Gain 4.0 GaN HEMT 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 Parameter Min.
