A 5 to 14GHz gallium arsenide driver amplifier is packaged in an RoHS compliant QFN package.

Mimix Broadband has released a 5 to 14GHz gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) driver amplifier, packaged in an RoHS compliant QFN package This device is processed in a highly repeatable, 0.25um optical pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) process and includes on-chip diodes for ESD protection

This three stage amplifier achieves 20dB of gain and 11dBm of P1dB.

The device is self-biased and uses a single power supply.

The CMM0511-QT is a self biased low cost driver amplifier which eliminates the need for a negative voltage supply and any external matching elements.

This general purpose driver amplifier comes in a 3 x 3mm, plastic QFN package and delivers high performance over C, X and Ku bands.

"The device saves valuable board area, is easy to mount and easy to handle in automated assembly lines", states Amer Droubi, Product Manager, Mimix Broadband.

"The CMM0511-QT nicely complements our wide range of highly reliable driver amplifiers and gain blocks".

Engineering samples are available today from stock in small quantities.
