General Description
MERA-533+ is a dual matched wideband amplifier offering high dynamic range. It has repeatable performance
from lot to lot. It is enclosed in a 3.25 x 3.25 mm MCLP plastic package. MERA-533+ uses Darlington configu-
ration and is fabricated using InGaP HBT technology. Expected MTBF at 85°C case temperature is 420 years
for the entire device (A1 and A2).

Pin Number
Description
1
RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of
operation.
RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary
8
for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias without loss of RF signal due to the bias
connection, as shown in “Recommended Application Circuit”.

connection, as shown in “Recommended Application Circuit”.
2,3,6,7 & paddle
Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB Design” to reduce ground
path inductance for best performance.
