ERA-9SM Datasheet, PDF (1/5 Pages) Mini-Circuits – Monolithic Amplifier

Surface Mount
Monolithic Amplifier
50Ω DC to 8 GHz
The Big Deal
• Low Gain
• Good Gain flatness, ±0.9 dB
• Broadband matched
ERA-9SM+
Micro-X, 0.085” diameter
Product Overview
ERA-9SM+ (RoHS compliant) is wideband current driven amplifier fabricated using HBT technology. In
addition, the ERA-9SM+, has good input and output return loss over a broad frequency range without the
need for external matching components. Lead finish is SnAgNi. It has repeatable performance from lot to
lot and is enclosed in a 0.085” diameter micro-x package for very good thermal performance.
Key Features
Feature
Broadband, DC* to 8 GHz
(* Low frequency cut off determined by
external coupling capacitors)
Advantages
A single amplifier covering DC* to 8 band.
• Reduced component inventory
• Ideal for wideband applications such as instrumentation and military
Low gain:
8.6 dB typ. at 0.1 GHz and
6.9 dB at 8 GHz
Ideal for increasing the gain of amplifier chain by low value.
Typically small gain change may need two components; an amplifier and an attenuator.
Use of ERA-9SM+ reduces component count.
Good Gain Flatness: ±0.9 dB
Wideband matched
Input return loss: 18-25 dB typ.
Output return loss: 12-37 dB typ.
No need for gain flatness compensation over 8 GHz band to realize published gain flatness.
No external matching required to realize published return loss.
