VMMK-3503
0.5 - 18 GHz Variable Gain Amplifier in SMT Package
Data Sheet
Description
The VMMK-3503 is a small and easy-to-use, broadband,
variable gain amplifier operating in various frequency
bands from 0.5-18 GHz. It is housed in the Avago Tech-
nologies’ industry-leading and revolutionary sub-min-
iature chip scale package (GaAsCap wafer scale leadless
package) which is small and ultra thin yet can be handled
and placed with standard 0402 pick and place assembly
equipment. The VMMK-3503 provides maximum gain of
12 dB with a typical gain range of 23 dB where the gain
control is accessed from the input port by way of a large
value external resistor. It can be operated from 3 V to 5 V
power supply. It is fabricated using Avago Technologies
unique 0.25 μm E-mode PHEMT technology which elimi-
nates the need for negative gate biasing voltage.
