Description

The CGB7012-BD is a Darlington Configured, high dynamic range,

utility gain block amplifier. Designed for applications operating

within the DC to 6.0 GHz frequency range, Mimix’s broadband,

cascadable, gain block amplifiers are ideal solutions for transmit,

receive and IF applications.

These MMIC amplifiers are available in bare die form. Mimix's

InGaP HBT technology and an industry low thermal resistance

offers a thermally robust and reliable gain block solution.

The InGaP HBT die have extra pads to enable thorough DC

testing. This unique test capability and the inclusion of ESD

protection on all die, significantly enhances the quality, reliability

and ruggedness of these products.

With a single bypass capacitor, optional RF choke and two DC

blocking capacitors, this gain block amplifier offers significant

ease of use in a broad range of applications.

Operation of this device above any of these parameters may cause

permanent damage.
