Product Description
The NBB-500 cascadable broadband InGaP/GaAs MMIC amplifier is a
low-cost, high-performance solution for general purpose RF and micro-
wave amplification needs. This 50惟 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
provides flexibility and stability. The NBB-500 is packaged in a low-cost,
surface-mount ceramic package, providing ease of assembly for high-vol-
ume 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.
