Avago Technologies AMMC-5025: DC to 80-GHz traveling-wave amplifier aims at high-speed digital communications

The AMMC-5025 dc to 80-GHz traveling-wave amplifier suits high-speed digital-communications applications operating in the 30-kHz to 80-GHz frequency band, such as test-and-measurement equipment, radar-warning receivers, wideband communications and surveillance systems, and point-to-point radios. The device provides 8-dB small-signal gain, ±0.7-dB gain flatness, and a 10-dB input and output return loss. A gain-slope-control feature and adjustable gain control enables a dynamic range of more than 25 dB. Features include a 50Ω match on input and output, and 300V HBM ESD protection. Available in a 1.6×1-mm die, the AMMC-5025 costs $150 (1000).
