Monolithic Amplifier DC-4 GHz Product Features
• DC-4 GHz • Single voltage supply • Internally matched to 50 ohms • Unconditionally stable • Low performance variation over temperature • Transient protected
ERA-5+
• Aqueous washable • Protected by US Patent 6,943,629 CASE STYLE: VV105
Typical Applications +RoHS Compliant
• Cellular/ PCS/ 3G Base Station The +Suffix identifies RoHS Compliance. See our web site • CATV, Cable Modem & DBS for RoHS Compliance methodologies and qualifications • Fixed Wireless & WLAN • Microwave Radio & Test Equipment
General Description
ERA-5+ (RoHS compliant) is a wideband amplifier offering high dynamic range. It has repeatable perfor- mance from lot to lot. It is enclosed in an Micro-X package. ERA-5+ uses Darlington configuration and is fabricated using InGaP HBT technology. Expected MTTF is 940 years at 85°C case temperature.
simplified schematic and pin description
RF-OUT and DC-IN RF-OUT and DC-IN 3 RF IN 4 GND GND 2 1 RF IN GROUND
Function Pin Number Description
RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen RF IN 1 for the frequency of operation. 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 RF-OUT and DC-IN 3 without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in “Recommended Application Circuit”. Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB GND 2,4 Design” to reduce ground path inductance for best performance. Notes A. Performance and quality attributes and conditions not expressly stated in this specification document are intended to be excluded and do not form a part of this specification document. B. Electrical specifications and performance data contained in this specification document are based on Mini-Circuit’s applicable established test performance criteria and measurement instructions. C. The parts covered by this specification document are subject to Mini-Circuits standard limited warranty and terms and conditions (collectively, “Standard Terms”); Purchasers of this part are entitled to the rights and benefits contained therein.
