Description
Hewlett-Packard’s MGA-82563 is
an economical, easy-to-use GaAs
MMIC amplifier that offers
excellent power and low noise
figure for applications from 0.1 to
6 GHz. Packaged in an ultraminiature SOT-363 package, it
requires half the board space of a
SOT-143 package.

The input and output of the
amplifier are matched to 50␣ Ω
(below 2:1 VSWR) across the
d
entire bandwidth, eliminating the
expense of external matching.
The amplifier allows a wide
dynamic range by offering a 2.2 dB
NF coupled with a +31 dBm
Output IP3.
The circuit uses state-of-the-art
PHEMT technology with proven
reliability. On-chip bias circuitry
allows operation from a single
+3␣ V power supply, while resistive
feedback ensures stability (K>1)
over all frequencies and
temperatures.

Notes:
1. Guaranteed specifications are 100% tested in the circuit in Figure 10 in the Applications Information section.
2. Standard deviation number is based on measurement of at least 500 parts from three non-consecutive wafer lots during
the initial characterization of this product, and is intended to be used as an estimate for distribution of the typical
specification.
