Avago Technologies AMMC-6231 is a high gain,
low-noise amplifier that operates from 16 GHz
to 32 GHz. This LNA provides a wide-band
solution for system design since it covers several
bands, thus, reduces part inventory. The device
has input / output match to 50 Ohm, is
unconditionally stable and can be used as either
primary or sub-sequential low noise gain stage.
By eliminating the complex tuning and assembly
processes typically required by hybrid (discrete-
FET) amplifiers, the AMMC-6231 is a cost-
effective alternative in the 16 - 32 GHz
communications receivers. The backside of the
chip is both RF and DC ground. This helps
simplify the assembly process and reduces
assembly related performance variations and
costs. It is fabricated in a PHEMT process to
provide exceptional noise and gain performance.
For improved reliability and moisture protection,
the die is passivated at the active areas.
