TGA4832
DC - 35 GHz Wideband Amplifier
Key Features and Performance
• Frequency Range: DC to 35GHz Linear
• 40Gb/s Optical Modulator Driver
• 12dB Small Signal Gain
• 17 dBm Typical Output Power (4Vpp)
• 3dB Gain Adjustment
• < 15ps Edge Rates

Product Description
The TriQuint TGA4832 is a medium power wideband
AGC amplifier which operates from DC to 35 GHz.
Typical small signal gain is 12dB with 3dB AGC range.
Typical input and output return losses are >10dB. The
TGA4832 provides 18 dBm of output power at 1 dB
gain compression.
Drain bias may be applied through the output port for
best efficiency or through the on-chip drain termination.
Two stages in cascade demonstrate 3.8Vpp output
voltage swing with 350mV at the input when stimulated
with 40Gb/s 2^31-1prbs NRZ data. RF ports are DC
coupled enabling the user to customize system corner
frequencies. The TGA4832 requires off-chip
decoupling and blocking components.
The TGA4832 is suitable for a variety of wideband
electronic warfare systems such as radar warning
receivers, electronic counter measures, decoys, and
jammers. It is also an excellent choice for 40Gb/s NRZ
applications. The TGA4832 is capable of driving an
Electro-Absorptive optical Modulator (EAM) with
electrical Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) data. In addition,
the TGA4832 may also be used as a predriver or a
receive gain block.
