CGA-6618

CGA-6618(Z) Dual CATV 1MHz to 1000MHz High Linearity GaAs HBT Amplifier CGA-6618(Z) DUAL CATV 1MHz to 1000MHz HIGH LINEARITY GaAs HBT AMPLIFIER RoHS Compliant and Pb-Free Product (Z Part Number) Package: ESOP-8 Product Description RFMD’s CGA-6681(Z) is a high performance GaAs HBT MMIC Amplifier. Designed with the InGaP process technology for excellent reliability. A Darlington configuration is utilized for broadband performance. The heterojunction increases breakdown voltage and minimizes leakage current between junctions. The CGA-6618(Z) contains two amplifiers for use in wideband Push-Pull CATV amplifiers requiring excellent second orfer performance. The second or third order non-linearities are greatly improved in the push pull configuration.
