The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use as an easily-cascadable 50 Ω gain block. Applications include IF and RF amplification in wireless voice and data communication products operating in frequency bands up to 6000MHz. The device is self-contained with 50 Ω input and output impedances and requires only two external DCbiasing elements to operate as specified. The device is designed for cost effective high reliability in a plastic package. The 3mmx3mm footprint is compatible with standard ceramic and plastic Micro-X packages.
