Description
The TriQuint TGA8320-SCC is a general purpose gain block amplifier, which operates
from DC to 8 GHz. Four 200 um FETs produce 9.5 dB nominal gain and a noise figure
that is 5 dB across the band. Typical input and output return loss is 16 dB at midband.
Nominal power output is 17 dBm at 1 dB gain compression. Ground is provided to the
circuitry through vias to the backside metallization.
The TGA8320-SCC gain block amplifier is suitable for a variety of military and
commercial applications such as L, S, and C-band radar systems, ECM, and
communication systems.
Bond pad and backside metallization is gold plated for compatibility with eutectic alloy
attachment methods as well as the thermocompression and thermosonic wire-bonding
processes.
The TGA8320-SCC is supplied in chip form and is readily assembled using automated
equipment.
