It combines a low noise figure of 2.2 dB at 2 GHz and 2.6 dB at 8 GHz with high output IP3 of +28 dBm and flat gain of 17.6 dB with plus or minus 2.0 dB variation across the full bandwidth. Operating from a single 5 V or 6 V supply at 51 mA (5 V) or 68 mA (6 V), this GaAs pHEMT amplifier is internally matched to 50 Ohms and requires no external matching components.","working_principle":"The PMA2-123LN+ employs an enhancement-mode GaAs pHEMT process to implement a two-stage low-noise amplifier. The input stage is optimized for minimum noise figure while the output stage provides high linearity and output power. The RF input and output are both internally matched to 50 Ohms across the full 0.5-12 GHz bandwidth. The device operates from a single positive supply voltage applied through the RF output pin (drain bias) via an external bias tee or RF choke. The MMIC topology provides simultaneous low noise figure and high IP3 by biasing the pHEMT devices at optimal drain current. The 2 x 2 mm MCLP package provides low-inductance ground connections through the bottom paddle, essential for stable microwave operation up to 12 GHz.","pin_description":"<table><tr><th>Pin<\/th><th>Name<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>NC<\/td><td>No connect<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>NC<\/td><td>No connect<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>RF-IN<\/td><td>RF input; 50 Ohm matched, AC coupled internally<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4, 5<\/td><td>NC<\/td><td>No connect<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>6<\/td><td>RF-OUT and DC-IN<\/td><td>RF output; 50 Ohm matched.

The RF OUT pin also serves as the DC supply input \u2014 an external RFC (radio frequency choke) or bias tee is required to inject 5V DC while blocking RF. Input and output are AC-coupled internally. The exposed paddle must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for both electrical ground return and thermal dissipation.
