Product Description
The NBB-500 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-500 providesflexibility and stability. The NBB-500 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 packaged or chip (NBB-500-D) form, where its gold metallization is ideal for hybrid circuit designs.
