MAR-8A+ Datasheet | Mini-Circuits

Features - Exact foot print substitute for MAR-8 and MSA-0885a,b Benefits: - lower device voltage, 3.7 typ. - lower power dissipation in the MMIC - may eliminate need for choke (RFC) - High gain, 31.5 d B at 0.1 GHz, reduces ponent count - Internally Matched to 50 Ohms - High power output, +12.5 d Bm typ. - Low noise - Improved stability - Protection against power supply transients - Patent pending - Aqueous washable Applications - Cellular - PCN & instrumentation Generic photo used for illustration purposes only CASE STYLE: VV105 +Ro HS pliant The +Suffix identifies Ro HS pliance. See our web site for Ro HS pliance methodologies and qualifications General Description MAR-8A+ (Ro HS pliant) is a wideband amplifier offering high dynamic range. It has repeatable performance from lot to lot. It is enclosed in a Micro-X package. MAR-8A+ uses Darlington configuration and is fabricated using In Ga P HBT technology. simplified schematic and pin description RF IN RF-OUT and DC-IN RF-OUT and DC-IN 3 4 GND GND 2 GROUND 1 RF IN Function Pin Number Description RF IN RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation. RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking RF-OUT and DC-IN 3 capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in...
