Mini-Circuits SMT MMIC, Linear, Gain Block Amplifier, 10 GHz to 13 GHz, 50Ω, 2x2 mm QFN Style Package PMA2-133LN+

The PMA2-133LN+ is a monolithic RF amplifier designed for operation in the frequency range of 10 to 13 GHz. It features an ultra-low noise figure of 1.3 dB at 11 GHz, making it suitable for sensitive applications such as satellite communication, military radar, and radio astronomy. The amplifier operates at low supply voltages of +3V and +5V, with a typical current consumption of 13 mA at +3V and 29 mA at +5V, which is beneficial for battery-operated systems. This device offers a high output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of +28.6 dBm at 11 GHz, providing excellent performance in low noise receiver front-end applications. The PMA2-133LN+ is housed in a compact 2 x 2 mm, 6-lead MCLP package, which is advantageous for dense circuit board layouts. It includes a shutdown feature to conserve power when not in use and has excellent ESD protection rated at Class 1C, reducing the need for additional external protection circuits. Overall, the PMA2-133LN+ is a robust choice for engineers looking for a reliable RF amplifier with low noise and power consumption characteristics.
