Low Noise, Cascadable
Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier
Technical Data
INA-01170
Features
• Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block
• Low Noise Figure:
1.7 dB Typical at 100 MHz
• High Gain:
amplifier housed in a hermetic, high
reliability package. It is designed for
narrow or wide bandwidth industrial and military applications that
require high gain and low noise IF
or RF amplification.
32.5 dB Typical at 100 MHz
• 3 dB Bandwidth:
DC to 500␣ MHz
• Unconditionally Stable
(k>1)
• Hermetic Gold-Ceramic
Surface Mount Package
The INA series of MMICs is
fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT,
25␣ GHz f
bipolar process which uses nitride
self-alignment, submicrometer
lithography, trench isolation, ion
implantation, gold metallization
and polyimide intermetal dielec-
Description
