A new gallium arsenide MMIC three stage buffer amplifier features ultrawide bandwidth and high dynamic range.
The XU1004-BD is well suited for point-to-point radio, LMDS, satcom or VSAT applications.
"The high level of integration in the XU1004-BD allows our customers to reduce the number of components on their board, facilitating a smaller design area and fewer interconnects", says Paul Beasly, Product Manager, Mimix Broadband.
"The device is suitable for PTP commercial applications, as well as defence applications where board space is a critical design requirement".
Mimix performs 100% on-wafer RF and DC testing on the XU1004-BD, as well as 100% visual inspection to MIL-STD-883 method 2010.
The chip also has surface passivation to protect and provide rugged parts with backside via holes and gold metallisation to allow either a conductive epoxy or eutectic solder die attach process.
Production quantities are available from stock.
