The CGB8001-SC is a single stage, medium power, high dynamic
range amplifier. Designed for applications operating within the DC
to 2.8 GHz frequency range, Mimix’s medium power amplifier is an
ideal solution for transmit, receive and IF applications. This MMIC
amplifier is available in an industry standard, RoHS compliant,
SOT-89 package. Mimix's InGaP HBT technology and an industry
low thermal resistance offers a thermally robust and reliable gain
block solution. The InGaP HBT die have extra pads to enable
thorough DC testing. This unique test capability and the inclusion
of ESD protection on all die, significantly enhances the quality,
reliability and ruggedness of this product. This medium power
amplifier offers significant ease of use in a broad range of
applications with minimum external matching elements. The
combination of high gain, P1dB and high linear power at low
current makes the CGB8001-SC an ideal transmit solution as a
driver or output stage when used in applications including 3G, fixed
wireless broadband, WLAN and WiMAX. The CGB8001-SC has a an
on-chip integrated active bias circuit providing stable current over
temperature variations. The device is biased with a single +5V
supply in a class AB mode making it efficient at back-off input
power levels.
