Product Description
Stanford Microdevices’ SNA-100 is a GaAs monolithic
broadband amplifier (MMIC) in die form. This amplifier
provides 12dB of gain when biased at 50mA and 4V.
SNA-100
DC-10 GHz, Cascadable
GaAs MMIC Amplifier
External DC decoupling capacitors determine low frequency
response. The use of an external resistor allows for bias
flexibility and stability.
These unconditionally stable amplifiers are designed for use
as general purpose 50 ohm gain blocks.
Also available in packaged form (SNA-176, -186 & -187), its
small size (0.33mm x 0.33mm) and gold metallization makes it
an ideal choice for use in hybrid circuits.
The SNA-100 is available in gel paks at 100 devices per
container.
