Surface Mount Monolithic Amplifier DC-4 GHz Product Features * DC-4 GHz * Single Voltage Supply * Internally matched to 50 Ohm * Unconditionally Stable * Low Performance Variation Over Temperature * Transient protected * Protected by US Patent 6,943,629 ERA-5XSM+ ERA-5XSM + RoHS compliant in accordance with EU Directive (2002/95/EC) Typical Applications * Cellular/ PCS/ 3G Base Station * CATV, Cable Modem & DBS * Fixed Wireless & WLAN * Microwave Radio & Test Equipment The +Suffix identifies RoHS Compliance. See our web site for RoHS Compliance methodologies and qualifications. General Description ERA-5XSM+ (RoHS compliant) and ERA-5XSM (non-RoHS compliant) are wideband amplifiers offering high dynamic range. They have repeatable performance from lot to lot. They are enclosed in an Micro-X package. They use Darlington configuration and are fabricated using InGaP HBT technology. Expected MTBF is 700 years at 85C case temperature. simplified schematic and pin description RF-OUT and DC-IN RF-OUT and DC-IN RF IN GND GND RF IN GROUND Function Pin Number Description RF IN 1 RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation. RF-OUT and DC-IN 3 RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in "Recommended Application Circuit". GND 2,4 Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in "Suggested Layout for PCB Design" to reduce ground path inductance for best performance. (R) Mini-Circuits INTERNET http://www.minicircuits.com P.O.
