DESCRIPTION
Avago’sABA-54563isaneconomical,easy-to-useinternally 50-ohm matched silicon monolithic amplifier that offers excellent gain and broadband response from DC to 3.4 GHz. Packaged in an ultraminiature industry-standard SOT-363 package, it requires half the board space of a SOT-143 package. At2GHz,theABA-54563offersasmall-signalgainof 23 dB, output P1dB of 16.1 dB and 27.8 dBm output third order intercept point. It is suitable for use as buffer amplifiers for wideband applications. They are designed for low cost gain blocks in cellular applications, DBS tuners, LNB and other wireless communications systems. At IF frequencies, ABA-54563 is fabricated using Avago’s HP25 silicon bipolar process, which employs a double-diffused single polysilicon process with self-aligned submicron emitter geometry. The process is capable of simultaneous high fT and high NPN breakdown (25 GHz fT at 6V BVCEO). The process utilizes industry standard device oxide isolation technologies and submicron aluminum multilayer interconnect to achieve superior performance, high uniformity and proven r eliability.
