Product Overview
Mini-Circuits’ TAV2-14LN+ is a MMIC E-PHEMT* transistor with an operating frequency range from 0.05 to
10 GHz. This model combines high gain with extremely low noise figure, resulting in lower overall system
noise. Low NF and IP3 performance make it an ideal choice for sensitive receivers in communications systems. Manufactured using highly repeatable E-PHEMT technology, the unit comes housed in a tiny 2x2mm
MCLP package. This model requires external biasing and matching.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Wideband, 0.05 to 10 GHz
Usable to 12 GHz
A single device covers many wireless communications bands including cellular, ISM,
GSM, WCDMA, WiMax, WLAN, 5G and more.
High IP3 vs. DC power consumption
• +30.9 dBm at 6 GHz, 4V
• +33.2 dBm at 12 GHz, 4V
The TAV2-14LN+ matches industry leading IP3 performance relative to device size
and power consumption. Enhanced linearity over a broad frequency range makes the
device ideal for use in:
• Driver amplifiers for complex waveform up converter paths
• Drivers in linearized transmit systems
Combines high gain (16.4 dB) with very
low Noise Figure (0.7 dB)
The unique combination of high gain and low Noise Figure results in lower overall
system noise.
2 x 2mm 6-lead MCLP package
Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable
transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB.
* Enhancement mode Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor.
