19-113; Rev 1; 8/3 EVLUTION KIT VILBLE DC-to-Microwave, +V Low-Noise mplifier General Description The is a low-noise amplifier for use from DC to microwave frequencies. Operating from a single +V supply, it has a flat gain response to 9MHz. The s low noise figure and high drive capability make it ideal for a variety of transmit, receive, and buffer applications. The device is internally biased, eliminating the need for external bias resistors or inductors. In a typical application, the only external components needed are input and output blocking capacitors and a bypass capacitor. The comes in a 4-pin SOT143 package, requiring minimal board space. pplications Wireless Local Loop Global Positioning Systems (GPS) ISM Radios Special Mobile Radios Wireless Local-rea Networks Cellular Base Stations Set-Top Boxes Features Internally Biased High Gain: 18.3dB at 9MHz 3.9dB Noise Figure Single +4.V to +.V Operation -1dBm Output 1dB Compression Power Low-Cost Silicon Bipolar Design Ultra-Small SOT143 Package Ordering Information PRT TEMP RNGE PIN-PCKGE EUS-T -4 C to +8 C 4 SOT143-4 Typical Operating Circuit Pin Configuration TOP VIEW 3 4 C BLOCK C BYP GND IN IN GND 2 1 IN C BLOCK SOT143 Maxim Integrated Products 1 For pricing, delivery, and ordering information, please contact Maxim/Dallas Direct! at 1-888-629-4642, or visit Maxim s website at www.maxim-ic.com.

Detailed Description The is a broadband amplifier with flat gain and Ω input and output ports. Its small size and internal bias circuitry make it ideal for applications where board space is limited. pplications Information External Components s shown in the Typical Operating Circuit, the is easy to use. Input and output series capacitors may be necessary to block DC bias voltages (generated by the ) from interacting with adjacent circuitry. These capacitors must be large enough to contribute negligible reactance in a Ω system at the minimum operating frequency. Use the following equation to calculate their minimum value: PC Board Layout Example n example PC board layout is given in Figure 1. It uses FR-4 with 31mil layer thickness between the RF lines and the ground plane. The board satisfies all the above requirements. RF IN RF C BLOCK = 3, f (pf) where f (in MHz) is the minimum operating frequency. The pin must be RF bypassed for correct operation. To accomplish this, connect a capacitor between the pin and ground, as close to the package as is practical. Use the same equation given above (for DC blocking capacitor values) to calculate the minimum capacitor value. If there are long lines on the PC board, additional bypassing may be necessary. This may be done further away from the package, at your discretion. Proper grounding of the GND pin is essential. If the PC board uses a topside RF ground, the GND pin should connect directly to it. For a board where the ground plane is not on the component side, the best technique is to connect the GND pin to it through multiple plated through-holes. EXPNDED VIEW Figure 1.
