AVA-183A Datasheet, PDF (1/5 Pages) Mini-Circuits – Monolithic Amplifier

Wideband, Microwave
Monolithic Amplifier
50Ω 5 to 18 GHz
The Big Deal
• Surface Mount Amplifier up to 18 GHz
• Integrated matching, DC Blocks and bias circuits
• Superior Value
AVA-183A+
CASE STYLE: DQ849
Product Overview
The AVA-183A+ is a surface mount, microwave amplifier and fully integrated gain block up to 18 GHz. It
is packaged in Mini-Circuits industry standard 3x3 mm MCLP package, which provides excellent RF and
thermal performance. The AVA-183A+ integrates the entire matching network with the majority of the bias
circuit inside the package, reducing the need for complicated external circuits. This approach makes the
AVA-183A+ extremely flexible and enables simple, straightforward use.
Key Features
Feature
Wideband, 5 to 18 GHz
Advantages
Broad frequency range supports a wide array of applications from microwave radio and radar , to
military communications and countermeasures.
Excellent Gain Flatness
High Isolation
Single +5V Supply
Typical ±1.2 dB gain flatness across the entire frequency range minimizes the need for external
equalizer networks making it a great fit for instrumentation and EW applications.
With reverse isolation of 31-42 dB (17-23 dB directivity), the AVA-183A+ is an excellent choice for
buffering broadband circuits. It is an ideal LO driver amplifier and provides designers system flex-
ibility and margin when integrating cascaded RF components.
• No hassle associated with amplifiers using dual supply; such as power supply sequencing.
• Integrated output bias-tee, simplifies layout & reduces cost.
Manufacturability
MSL1 and ESD Class1A (HBM) ratings minimize special handling on production lines.
