CA3102
Data Sheet November 1999
Dual High FrequencyDifferentialAmplifier
For Low Power Applications Up to
500MHz
The CA3102 consists of two independent differential
amplifiers with associated constant current transistors on a
common monolithic substrate. The six transistors which
comprise the amplifiers are general purpose devices which
exhibit low 1/f noise and a value of f
in excess of 1GHz.
T
These features make the CA3102 useful from DC to
500MHz. Bias and load resistors have been omitted to
provide maximum application flexibility.
The monolithic construction of the CA3102 provides close
electrical and thermal matching of the amplifiers. This
feature makes this device particularly useful in dual channel
applications where matched performance of the two
channels is required.
The CA3102has a separate substrate connection for greater
design flexibility.

CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTES:
1. The collector of each transistor of the CA3102 is isolated from the substrate by an integral diode.The substrate (Terminal 9) must be connected
to the most negative point in the external circuit to maintain isolation between transistors and to provide for normal transistor action.
2. θJA is measured with the component mounted on an evaluation PC board in free air.
