SNA-300
DC-3 GHz, Cascadable
GaAs HBT MMIC Amplifier
Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices SNA-300 is a GaAs monolithic broad-
band amplifier (MMIC) in die form. At 1950 MHz, this amplifier
provides 22dB of gain when biased at 35mA .
These unconditionally stable amplifiers are designed for use
as general purpose 50 ohm gain blocks. Its small size
(0.350mm x 0.345mm) and gold metallization make it an ideal
choice for use in hybrid circuits. The SNA-300 is 100% DC
tested and sample tested for RF performance.
Product Features
External DC decoupling capacitors determine low frequency
response. The use of an external resistor allows for bias
flexibility and stability.
