A new gallium arsenide MMIC three stage buffer amplifier features ultrawide bandwidth and high dynamic range.
The CMM1118 provides 20dB gain and delivers 14dBm P1dB.
With on-chip ESD protection, the CMM1118 is assembled in a low cost, surface mount 3 x 3mm QFN package.
The 16-terminal plastic package is also lead-free.
The device is well suited for wireless communications applications such as millimetre-wave point-to-point radio, local multipoint distribution services (LMDS) and satcom.
"This low cost buffer amplifier is designed to fit almost any Ku-band application where high performance, space saving, cost sensitivity and time-to-market are crucial".
"The CMM1118 offers 20dB of wideband gain in a 3 x 3mm, plastic QFN package and eliminates the need for a negative supply and external matching", stated Damian McCann, Vice President, Product Development of Mimix Broadband.
"For our Vsat and multipoint customers, the CMM1118 complements perfectly our range of surface mount Ku-band power amplifiers".
