Revision 5/7/2012

Frequency

100 kHz - 400 MHz

300 kHz - 400 MHz

Available as:

CZ8461, 4 Pin TO-12 (T7)

TN8461, 4 Pin Surface Mount (SM3)

FP8461, 4 Pin Flatpack (FP4)

PN8461, Reduced Size Surface Mount (SM11)

The CZ846X Series Amplifiers are designed for applications in 50 ohm

systems. Three external capacitors are required. The external

capacitors determine the low frequency response of the Amplifier.

The CZ846X Series Amplifiers can be cascaded in series of two or

more units without oscillation problems.
