Product Description

The TMC163 GaAs pHEMT distributed amplifier is a broadband, ultra-high linearity MMIC, well-suited for use in radio communication, instrumentation, OC192 LN/MZ modulator driver, military, and space applications.

A 50 Ω design, the TMC163 provides 34 dBm OIP3 with 3 dB noise figure and 17 dB small-signal gain. Typical bias drain bias is 8 V at 180 mA, and it can be biased as low as 5 V and 140 mA with excellent performance.

Au-based bond pad and backside metallization is compatible with industry-standard ribbon and wedge bonding and high conductivity epoxy and eutectic die attach methods.

The TMC163 is available from mmTron in die and surface-mount packaged formats and from X-Microwave as an X-MWblock®️.
