Note:Typical specifications represents performance for each side of
the matched pair of transistors in the recommended application circuit
board (see page 15). It is anticipated that the pair will be used in a bal-
anced circuit configuration, hence the matches are optimized for best
noise figure and OIP3 performance.
Description
The CDQ0303-QS is a dual, ultra low-noise amplifi-
er combining high gain, state-of-the-art noise figure and high
IP3. Utilizing Mimix's distinctive in-house GaAs fabrica-
tion advantage and matched pair technology, co-located
matched transistor die are assembled in the 4mm x 4mm
QFN package. The low-cost, surface-mount, 16 terminal,
plastic package is also lead-free.
Packaging a matched pair of ultra low-noise devices
in a single package makes the CDQ0303-QS an ideal product
for balanced amplifier implementation. It is intended for
many applications operating in the 900 MHz to 2400 MHz
frequency range. It can also be used in a dual-band configu-
ration where a single transistor is used for each band.
Mimix's high performance packaged pHEMTs are
ideal for use in all applications where low-noise figure, high
gain, medium power and good intercept is required. The
CDQ0303-QS is the perfect solution for the first or second
stage of a base station LNA due to the excellent combination
of low-noise figure and linearity. It is also well suited as a
medium power driver stage in pole-top amplifiers and other
transmit functions, particularly as the low thermal resistance
allows extended power dissipation when voltage and current
are adjusted for increased power and linearity.
