Low Noise, Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Technical Data INA-03184 Features * Cascadable 50 Gain Block * Low Noise Figure: 2.6 dB Typical at 1.5 GHz * High Gain: 25 dB Typical at 1.5 GHz * 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 2.5 GHz * Unconditionally Stable (k>1) * Low Power Dissipation: 10 mA Bias * Low Cost Plastic Package Description The INA-03184 is a low-noise silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) feedback amplifier housed in a low cost surface mount plastic package. It is designed for narrow or wide bandwidth commercial and industrial applications that require high gain and low noise IF or RF amplification with minimum power consumption. The INA series of MMICs is fabricated using HP's 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz f MAX, ISOSATTM-I silicon bipolar process which uses nitride self-alignment, submicrometer lithography, trench isolation, ion implantation, gold metallization and polyimide intermetal dielectric and scratch protection to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability.
