The CGB8001-SC is a single stage, high power, high dynamic range,
utility gain block amplifier. Designed for applications operating
within the DC to 2.7 GHz frequency range, Mimix’s broadband,
cascadable, gain block amplifier is an ideal solution for transmit,
receive and IF applications. This MMIC amplifier is available in an
industry standard, RoHS compliant, SOT-89 package. Mimix's InGaP
HBT technology and an industry low thermal resistance offers a
thermally robust and reliable gain block solution. The InGaP HBT die
have extra pads to enable thorough DC testing. This unique test
capability and the inclusion of ESD protection on all die, significantly
enhances the quality, reliability and ruggedness of these products.
This gain block amplifier offers significant ease of use in a broad
range of applications. The combination of high gain, P1dB and high
linear power at low current makes the CGB8001-SC an ideal transmit
and receive solution when used in applications including 3G, fixed
wireless broadband, WLAN and WiMAX services operating from 2.1 to
2.7 GHz. The CGB8001-SC has a an on-chip integrated active bias
circuit providing stable current over bias and temperature variations.
The device is biased with a single +5V supply in a class AB mode
making it efficient at back-off input power levels.
