Avago TWA suits high-speed digital communications
Avago Technologies
AMMC-5025 travelling wave amplifier
Avago Technologies has introduced an ultra broadband travelling wave amplifier (TWA) for high-speed digital communications applications that operate in the 30KHz to 80GHz frequency band.
Avago's AMMC-5025 amplifier provides 8dB of small signal gain and gain flatness of +/-0.7 dB, along with better than 10dB input and output return loss, making it suitable for use in test and measurement equipment, radar warning receivers, wideband communications and surveillance systems, and point-to-point radios.
The AMMC-5025 has a gain slope control feature and an adjustable gain control feature that allows over 25dB of dynamic range.
It is also suitable for use in instrumentation and MMIC applications.
With a die size of 1.6 by 1.0mm, the AMMC-5025 amplifier integrates into a range of RF/Micromodules and subsystems.
It includes: 50ohm match on input and output; ESD protection; 70V MM and 300V HBM; typical performance (Vd = 5V, Idsq = 0.1A); P-1dB: 15dBm at 40GHz; and input/output return loss of -10/-15dB.
