IVA-05128

The IVA-05128 is a variable gain amplifier housed in a miniature ceramic hermetic surface mount package. The IVA-05128 is designed for narrow or wide bandwidth commercial, industrial and military applications that require high gain and wide gain control range. The amplifier IVA-05128 can be used in a singleended or differential output configuration. For low frequency applications (<50 MHz) a bypass capacitor and series resistor are connected to pin 4, the AC Input Ground lead.

Typical applications IVA-05128 include variable gain amplification for fiberoptic systems at data rates in excess of the 1.24 Gb/s SONET standard, mobile radio and satellite receivers, millimeter wave receiver IF amplifiers and communications receivers.

The IVA series IVA-05128 of variable gain amplifiers is fabricated using HP's 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX ISOSATTM-I silicon bipolar process. This process uses nitride selfalignment, submicrometer lithography, trench isolation, ion implantation, gold metallization and polyimide inter-metal dielectric and scratch protection to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability.
