Wideband Linear Amplifier MMIC

Features Description
·High Linearity 43 dBm OIP3 The ASL550, a wideband linear amplifier MMIC,
has a high linearity and low noise over a wide range
·Low Noise Figure 2.0 dB
of frequency 5 MHz to 1 GHz, being suitable for use
·25 dBm P1dB in the fiber receiver, distribution amplifiers and drop
·75 Ohm Input / Output Match amplifiers of CATV systems, and in the mobile wire-
ASL550
·Bandwidth 5~1000 MHz less repeaters and BTS. The amplifier is available in
an SOT-89 package and passes through the strin-
·Single Supply 8 V
gent DC, RF, and reliability tests.

Mounting Recommendation (in mm)

Note: 1. The number and size of ground via holes in


a circuit board is critical for thermal and RF
grounding considerations.
2. We recommend that the ground via holes
be placed on the bottom of the lead pin 2
and exposed pad of the device for better RF
and thermal performance, as shown in the
drawing at the left side.
