Flat Gain, Ultra-Wideband Monolithic Ampliefi r LVA-123+ 50 0.01 to 12 GHz The Big Deal CASE STYLE: DQ849 Ultra broadband performance Excellent Gain Flatness through 8 GHz Broadband without external matching components Product Overview LVA-123+ (RoHS compliant) is an advanced ultra-wideband amplifier fabricated using GaAs HBT technol - ogy and offers excellent gain flatness over a broad frequency range. In addition, the LVA-123+ has good input and output return loss over this frequency range without the need for external matching components. Lead finish is tin-silver over nickel. It has repeatable performance from lot to lot and is enclosed in a 3x3 mm 8-lead package for very good thermal performance. Key Features Feature Advantages Broadband covering primary wireless communications bands: Ultra Broad Band: 0.01 to 12 GHz Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX in a single amplifier. Ultra Flat Gain 0.6 dB typ. 0.05 - 6 GHz Ultra Flat Gain, eliminates need for compensation networks to achieve published results 1.0 dB typ. 0.05 - 8 GHz Wideband Bias-Tee, TCBT-123+ Enables customer to realize full BW without changing any components No External Matching Components LVA-123+ provides good Input and Output Return Loss of 12-28 dB over 0.05 - 6 GHz without Required the need for any external matching components Excellent ESD HBM: class 1C (1000 to <2000V) Simplifies ESD handling.

This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for RF IN 2 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 5 without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in Recommended Ap- plication Circuit, Fig. 2 Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in Suggested Layout for PCB Design GND Paddle to reduce ground path inductance for best performance. NC 1,3,4,6,7,8 No connection Notes A.
