MGA-86563

Agilent's MGA-86563 is an economical, easy-to-use GaAs MMIC amplifier that offers low noise figure and excellent gain for applications from 0.5 to 6 GHz.

Packaged in an ultra-miniature SOT-363 package, it requires half the board space of the SOT-143.

The MGA-86563 may be used without impedance matching as a high performance 2 dB NF gain block. Alternatively, with the addition of a simple shunt-series inductor at the input, the device noise figure can be reduced to 1.6 dB at 2.4 GHz. For 1.5 GHz applications and above, the output is well matched to 50 W. Below 1.5 GHz, gain can be
increased by using conjugate matching.

The circuit uses state-of-the-art PHEMT technology with selfbiasing current sources, a sourcefollower interstage, resistive feedback, and on-chip impedance matching networks. A patented, on-chip active bias circuit allows operation from a single +5 V power supply. Current consumption is only 14 mA, making this part suitable for battery powered applications.
