Description
The 211 Series is a thin-film
bipolar, medium-gain, low-noise,
RF amplifier suitable for front end
design. It utilizes lossless feed-
back circuitry for low power
consumption and high dynamic
range. Resistive feedback and
active bias provide temperature
compensation and increased
immunity to bias voltage varia-
tions. The 211 Series is available
in three packages: the surface
mount PlanarPak PP-38 (.375 in. x
.375 in.) case, the TO-8 hermetic
case and the connectorized TC-1A
case.
