DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The FMA219 is a 2-stage, reactively matched pHEMT low-noise MMIC amplifier designed for use
over the 7.0 to 11.0 GHz bandwidth. The amplifier requires a single +3V supply and one off-chip
component for supply de-coupling. Both the input and output ports are DC de-coupled. Grounding
of the amplifier is provided by plated thru-vias to the bottom of the die, no additional ground is
required.
Typical applications include low-noise front end amplifiers, and general gain block utilizations in X-
band. The amplifier is unconditionally stable over all load states (-45 to +85
°
C), and conditionally
stable if the input port is open-circuited.
