NE5204AD

INTEGRATED CIRCUITS NE/SA5204A Wide-band high-frequency amplifier Product specification RF Communications Handbook 1992 Feb 25 Philips Semiconductors Philips Semiconductors Product specification Wide-band high-frequency amplifier NE/SA5204A DESCRIPTION The NE/SA5204A family of wideband amplifiers replaces the NE/SA5204 family. The ‘A’ parts are fabricated on a rugged 2µm bipolar process featuring excellent statistical process control. Electrical performance is nomically identical to the original parts. The NE/SA5204A is a high-frequency amplifier with a fixed insertion gain of 20dB. The gain is flat to ±0.5dB from DC to 200MHz. The -3dB bandwidth is greater than 350MHz. This performance makes the amplifier ideal for cable TV applications. The NE/SA5204A operates with a single supply of 6V, and only draws 25mA of supply current, which is much less than comparable hybrid parts. The noise figure is 4.8dB in a 75Ω system and 6dB in a 50Ω system. The NE/SA5204A is a relaxed version of the NE5205. Minimum guaranteed bandwidth is relaxed to 350MHz and the “S” parameter Min/Max limits are specified as typicals only. Until now, most RF or high-frequency designers had to settle for discrete or hybrid solutions to their amplification problems. Most of these solutions required trade-offs that the designer had to accept in order to use high-frequency gain stages. These include high power consumption, large component count, transformers, large packages with heat sinks, and high part...
