Using 1GHz 12 dB gain wideband amplifier MMIC

The BGA3012 performance information is available in the BGA3012 datasheet.

This application note describes the evaluation board schematic and layout requirements for using the BGA3012 as a CATV drop amplifier between 40MHz and 1003MHz. The BGA3012 is fabricated in the BiCMOS process and packaged in a lead-free 3-pin SOT89 package. The BGA3012 is surface-mounted on an evaluation board with element matching and DC decoupling circuitry. The amplifier MMIC comprises a two stage amplifier with internal bias network and operates over a frequency range of 5MHz to 1003MHz with a supply voltage between 5 V and 8 V.
