The NBB-312 cascadable broadband InGaP/GaAs MMIC amplifier is a low-cost, high-performance solution for general purpose RF and microwave amplification needs. This 50Ω gain block is based on a reliable HBT proprietary MMIC design, providing unsurpassed performance for small-signal applications. Designed with an external bias resistor, the NBB-312 provides flexibility and stability. The NBB-312 is packaged in a low cost, surface-mount ceramic package, providing ease of assembly for high-volume tape-and-reel requirements. It is available in either 1,000 or 3,000 piece-per-reel quantities. Connectorized evaluation board designs optimized for high frequency are also available for characterization purposes.
