MMIC driver amplifier

1 December 2019 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The CMD315C4 from Custom MMIC is a GaAs (gallium arsenide) MMIC driver amplifier that operates from 4 to 10 GHz covering the S, C and X bands. It delivers a saturated output power of 22,5 dBm with a gain of 19,5 dB and has a noise figure of 5,5 dB.

This amplifier is matched to 50 Ω and eliminates the need for external DC blocks and RF port matching. It operates on a single positive supply voltage of 5 V. The CMD315C4 is available in a leadless 4 x 4 mm ceramic surface-mount QFN package and is suitable for complex communication system applications.
