Applications

• PCN instrumentation
NOTES:
# MAR-8SM(+) model input and output impedances are not 50 ohms, see S-parameter data.
Conditionally stable, source and load VSWR<3:1 required. MAR-6SM(+) conditionally stable, source and load
VSWR<5:1 required.
1. Minimum gain over the full frequency range and temperature range.
2. Low frequency cutoff determined by external coupling capacitors.
3. Frequency at which output power, NF and IP3 are specified: 500 MHz for MAR-1SM(+) and MAR-6SM(+),
1000 MHz for all other models.
4. MAR-6SM(+) models potentially unstable with very high VSWR terminations.
5. Thermal resistance θjc is from hottest junction in device to mounting surface of leads.
6. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. These ratings are not intended for continuous
normal operation.
7. Supply voltage must be connected to pin 3 through a bias resistor in order to prevent damage. See “Biasing MMIC Am
plifiers” in minicircuits.com/application.html. Reliability predictions are applicable at specified current & normal
operating conditions.
+ RoHS compliant in accordance
with EU Directive (2002/95/EC)
See our web site for RoHS Compliance methodologies
and qualifications.
