SNA-186-TR2

Product Description Sirenza Microdevices’ SNA-186 is a GaAs monolithic broadband amplifier (MMIC) housed in a low-cost surface-mountable plastic package. At 1950 MHz, this amplifier provides 12dB of gain and +13dBm of P1dB power when biased at 50mA. The use of an external resistor allows for bias flexibility and stability. These unconditionally stable amplifiers are designed for use as general purpose 50 ohm gain blocks. Also available in chip form (SNA-100), its small size (0.33mm x 0.33mm) and gold metallization makes it an ideal choice for use in hybrid circuits.

Measurements for this data sheet were made on a 31 mil thick FR-4 board with 1 ounce copper on both sides. Pin # Function RF IN Description RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation. Connection to ground. For optimum RF performance, use via holes as close to ground leads as possible to reduce lead inductance. Part Identification Marking The part will be marked with an “S1” designator on the top surface of the package. 3 1 2, 4 GND 4 S1 1 2 3 RF OUT/ RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is BIAS present on this pin, therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation.
