IVA-05228

Silicon Bipolar MMIC 1.5 GHz Variable Gain Amplifier Differential Option Technical Data IVA-05228 Features Differential Input and Output Capability DC to 1.5 GHz Bandwidth; 2.0 Gb/s Data Rates High Gain: 30 dB Typical Wide Gain Control Range: 30␣ dB Typical 5 V Bias 5 V Vgc Control Voltage, Igc␣ <␣ 3mA Fast Gain Control Response: < 10 ns Typical Hermetic Ceramic Package Description The IVA-05228 is a variable gain amplifier housed in a miniature ceramic hermetic surface mount package. This device can be used in any combination of singleended or differential inputs or outputs (see Functional Block Diagram). The lowest frequency of operation is limited only by the values of user selected blocking and bypass capacitors. Typical applications include variable gain amplification for fiber optic systems (e.g., SONET) with data rates up to 2.0 Gb/s, mobile radio and satellite receivers, millimeter wave receiver IF amplifiers and communication receivers. The IVA series of variable gain amplifiers is fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX 28 Package PIN 1 Applications LNA or Gain Stage for 2.4␣ GHz and 5.7 GHz ISM Bands Front End Amplifier for GPS Receivers LNA or Gain Stage for PCN and MMDS Applications C-Band Satellite Receivers Broadband Amplifier for Instrumentation ISOSAT™-I silicon bipolar process. This process uses nitride self-alignment, submicrometer lithography, trench isolation, ion implantation, gold metallization and polyimide inter-me...
