TriQuint launches broadband Darlington-pair cascadable gain block family
TriQuint has launched the new TQP36918x-Series of high-efficiency Darlington-pair cascadable gain block amplifiers that delivers cost-effective, broadband solutions in base-station transceiver, repeater, CATV, SATV and defense/aerospace applications. The 50 ohm general-purpose gain blocks are internally matched to help cut bill of materials (BOMs) while reducing current consumption to just 45mA.
The new devices provide two gain levels (15 and 20dB) as well as 29dBm OIP3 across DC-6GHz. Offered in RoHS-compliant, industry-standard SOT-363 or SOT-89 packages, the new gain blocks also provide very robust Class 1C HBM ESD performance.
TriQuint exhibited the new devices with distributor Richardson RFPD at the 2011 Microwave Workshops & Exhibition (MWE) in Pacifico Yokohama, Japan (30 November – 2 December).
