Description
The IVA-05228 is a variable gain
amplifier housed in a miniature
ceramic hermetic surface mount
package. This device can be used
in any combination of single-
ended or differential inputs or
outputs (see Functional Block
Diagram). The lowest frequency
of operation is limited only by the
values of user selected blocking
and bypass capacitors.
Typical applications include
variable gain amplification for
fiber optic systems (e.g., SONET)
with data rates up to 2.0 Gb/s,
mobile radio and satellite
receivers, millimeter wave
receiver IF amplifiers and
communication receivers.
The IVA series of variable gain
amplifiers is fabricated using HP鈥檚

ISOSAT鈩?I silicon bipolar
process. This process uses nitride
self-alignment, submicrometer
lithography, trench isolation, ion
implantation, gold metallization
and polyimide inter-metal
dielectric and scratch protection
to achieve excellent performance,
uniformity and reliability.
