TAT7457
75Ω pHEMT Adjustable Gain RF Amplifier
®
Product Overview
The TAT7457 is a low-cost RF amplifier designed for
applications from DC to 2000 MHz. The balance of low
noise and distortion provides an ideal solution for a wide
range of broadband amplifiers used in cable television
applications such as optical receivers and low noise front
ends.
The TAT7457 has features allowing a great deal of designin flexibility. Gain and return loss are adjustable with an
external feedback resistor. An internal bias circuit mitigates
the effect of temperature and process variation and an
external resistor may be used to adjust the bias current to
optimize distortion or noise performance. There are no onchip capacitors limiting the low frequency response which
extends down to DC.

The TAT7457 is fabricated using 6-inch GaAs pHEMT
technology to optimize performance and cost. It provides
excellent gain and return loss consistency inherent to the
pHEMT process.

Detailed Device Description
The TAT7457 was designed to be a low cost general
purpose amplifier suitable for a wide range of applications.

Bias
Network
The TAT7457 is a high gain cascode amplifier with no
internal shunt feedback.

1
An on-chip biasing network sets the operating conditions for
the FETs. This network stabilizes bias current against
changes in temperature as well as against the normal
process variations expected from wafer to wafer. Stabilized
bias current will lead to more consistent RF performance.

Reducing the value of the feedback resistor will reduce the
gain and lower the input and output impedances.

Low noise TIA designers may set the value of feedback to
a high value (>1k ohm) for best performance.

75Ω pHEMT Adjustable Gain RF Amplifier
Distortion and noise performance may be optimized with simple changes to the application circuit.
Noise performance may be improved by adding a large resistor R3 of approximately 20 kΩ to ground. This resistor will
reduce the bias current and improve noise.
Best distortion occurs on a 6v supply; however, for improved distortion on a 5V supply, bias current may be increased by
adding a large pull up resistor R5 of approximately 75 kΩ in parallel with the feedback capacitor.

Notes:
1. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35 mm (#80/.0135”) diameter drill and have a
final, plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010”).
2. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance.
3. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction.
