Mimix Broadband, Inc. Introduces DC to 2.8 GHz 5V 0.5W Medium Power Amplifier in SOT-89 Package

High Linearity Amplifier Delivers 27 dBm P1dB and 15.5 dB Gain at 2.1 GHz

October 1, 2008, Houston, Texas - Mimix Broadband, Inc. introduces today a 5V InGaP HBT amplifier that combines medium power and high gain with low power consumption. This versatile, multi-purpose amplifier, identified as CGB8001-SC, consumes 100 mA of current and covers DC to 2.8 GHz frequency bands with 27 dBm P1dB and 15.5 dB gain at 2.1 GHz.

Designed for 5V applications, this medium power amplifier is suitable for high linearity transmit, receive and IF applications, including CATV, 3G, WiBro and WiMAX. The low current consumption and high linear performance under complex modulation makes the CGB8001-SC an ideal output stage for multi-carrier applications. The amplifier is offered in an industry standard, RoHS compliant, SOT-89 package and includes an integrated active bias circuit and ESD protection, significantly enhancing quality, reliability and ruggedness.

"The integrated ESD protection, low thermal resistance and low power consumption increase the MTTF of the CGB8001-SC, making it a robust gain block solution," stated Amer Droubi, Product Manager, Mimix Broadband, Inc. "Furthermore, the integrated active bias circuit minimizes performance variation over temperature and enables direct operation from +5V supply, eliminating the need for an external dropping resistor."

Production quantities and engineering samples are available today from stock. Technical support is also available from Mimix's applications engineers at 281.988.4600. The CGB8001-SC datasheet and additional product information can be obtained from the Mimix Broadband website at www.mimixbroadband.com .
