The Big Deal
CMA-252LN+
CASE STYLE: DL1721
Product Overview
Mini-Circuits CMA-252LN+ is a E-PHEMT based Ultra-Low Noise MMIC Amplifier with a unique combina-
tions of low noise and high IP3 making this amplifier ideal for sensitive high dynamic range receiver ap-
plications. This design operates on a single 3 to 4V supply. The MMIC amplifier is bonded to a multilayer
integrated LTCC substrate and then hermetically sealed under a controlled nitrogen atmosphere with gold-
plated covers and eutectic AuSn solder. These amplifiers have been tested to MIL requirements for gross
leak, fine leak, thermal shock, vibration, acceleration, mechanical shock, and HTOL.
Key Features
Feature
Ultra Low Noise, 0.8 dB at 1.8 GHz
High IP3, +29 dBm at 1.8 GHz
Adjustable Current
Ceramic Hermetic Package
Max Input Power, +27 dBm
High Reliability
Advantages
Excellent noise figure performance. Increases signal to noise ratio.
Combining Low Noise and High IP3 makes this MMIC amplifier ideal for use in Low
Noise Receiver Front End (RFE) as it gives the user advantages at both ends of the
dynamic range: sensitivity & two-tone IM performance.
Provides users ability to set current consumption over a wide range from 25 to 80 mA.
Low inductance, repeatable performance, excellent reliability
Ruggedized design operates up to high input powers often seen at Receiver inputs
eliminating the need for an external limiter.
Low, small signal operating current of 57 mA nominal maintains junction temperatures
typically below 100°C at 85°C ground lead temperature.
