15 GHz Linear Amplifier
PSPL5867 Datasheet
The PSPL5867 is a broadband linear amplifier intended for use amplifying
signals with a minimum amount of distortion. The PSPL5867 demonstrates
exceptional gain flatness and low deviation from linear phase while
providing a bandwidth of 10 kHz to 15 GHz. This amplifier is ideal for use
as a linear gain block in applications such as 12.5 Gb/s fiber optic receiver
channels.
