The AMMC-6233 is a high gain, low-noise amplifier that operates from 18 GHz to 32 GHz. This amplifier provides a wide-band solution for system design since it covers several bands, reducing part inventory. It has a 50 Ohm input/output match, is unconditionally stable, and can be used as either a primary or sub-sequential low noise gain stage. By eliminating the complex tuning and assembly processes typically required by hybrid (discrete-FET) amplifiers, the AMMC-6233 is a cost-effective alternative in 18-32 GHz communications receivers. The chip is both RF and DC ground on the backside, simplifying the assembly process and reducing assembly-related performance variations and costs. It is fabricated in a PHEMT process to provide exceptional noise and gain performance. The die is passivated at the active areas for improved reliability and moisture protection.
