The LX5501B is a low cost, broadband RFIC amplifier that has been manufactured with an InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process (MOCVD).
Designed as an easily cascadable 50ohm internally matched gain block, the LX5501B can be used for IF and RF amplification in wireless / wired voice and data communication products and broadband test equipment operating up to 6 GHz. The amplifier is available in a plastic 5lead SOT-23 package.
APPLICATIONS
PA driver for WLAN and Cordless Phones VCO buffer Low Current, High Gain Cascaded Amplifiers
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
• •
Input and output matched to 50 ohms for ease of cascading. Cascaded gain blocks can be individually biased for the lowest supply current.
