Agilent MGA-62563
Current-Adjustable,
Low Noise Amplifier
Data Sheet
Features
• Single +3V or +5V supply
• High linearity
Description
Agilent’s MGA-62563 is an
economical, easy-to-use GaAs
MMIC amplifier that offers
excellent linearity and low noise
figure for applications from 0.1
to 3 GHz. Packaged in an minia-
ture SOT-363 package, it requires
half the board space of a SOT-143
package.
One external resistor is used to
set the bias current taken by the
device over a wide range. This
allows the designer to use the
same part in several circuit
positions and tailor the linearity
performance (and current
consumption) to suit each posi-
tion. The MGA-62563 is normally
operating with Id set in the 20-
80mA range
The output of the amplifier is
matched to 50Ω (below 2:1
VSWR) across the entire band-
width and only requires mini-
mum input matching. The ampli-
fier allows a wide dynamic range
by offering a 0.9 dB NF coupled
with a +32.9 dBm Output IP3. The
circuit uses state-of-the-art
E-pHEMT technology with proven
reliability. On-chip bias circuitry
allows operation from a single +3 V
or +5V power supply.
