QTY. (25) + RoHS compliant in accordance with EU Directive (2002/95/EC) The +Suffix has been added in order to identify RoHS Compliance. See our web site for RoHS Compliance methodologies and qualifications. Typical Applications • Base station infrastructure • Portable Wireless • CATV & DBS • MMDS & Wireless LAN General Description GVA-84+ (RoHS compliant) is a wideband amplifier offering high dynamic range. Lead finish is SnAgNi. It has repeatable performance from lot to lot and is enclosed in a SOT-89 package. It uses patented Transient Protected Darlington configuration and is fabricated using InGaP HBT technology. Expected MTBF is 1200 years at 85°C case temperature. GVA-84+ is designed to be rugged for ESD and supply switch-on transients. simplified schematic and pin description 3 RF-OUT & DC-IN RF-OUT and DC-IN RF IN 4 2 GROUND 1 RF-IN GROUND Function Pin Number Description RF IN 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”. GND 2,4 Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB Design” to reduce ground path inductance for best performance. Mini-Circuits ® EW ALL N minicircuits.com ISO 9001 ISO 14001 CERTIFIED P.O.
