Custom MMIC launches 2-6GHz GaAs driver amplifier

Monolithic microwave integrated circuit developer Custom MMIC of Westford, MA, USA has added to its growing product line with the CMD231, a wideband (2-6GHz) gallium arsenide (GaAs) MMIC driver amplifier that offers high gain, single positive supply voltage (from +3V to +6V), low current consumption and small die size. The new device is suitable for military/commercial communications and instrumentation applications where small size and high linearity are needed.

At 4GHz, the CMD231delivers more than 14.5dB of gain with a corresponding P1dB (output power at 1dB compression point) of +13.5dBm and output IP3 (third-order intercept point) linearity of 23.5dBm.

The CMD231 is a 50Ω matched design, which eliminates the need for external DC blocks and RF port matching. The device also offers full passivation for increased reliability and moisture protection. The MMIC amplifier is a CMM-2 replacement (pin compatible and performance compatible).
