CHA3512-99F
CHA3512-99F is Low Noise Digital Variable Amplifier manufactured by United Monolithic Semiconductors.
6-18GHz Low Noise Digital Variable Amplifier
Ga As Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The CHA3512-99F is posed by a Single Pole Double Through (SPDT) switch followed by a one step digital attenuator and a double stage travelling wave amplifier. It is designed for defense applications. The backside of the chip is both RF and DC grounded. This helps to simplify the assembly process.
The circuit is manufactured with a p HEMT process, 0.25µm gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography.
It is available in chip form.
