Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package configuration directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before purchase. Confirm current availability status, as this item may be subject to special order requirements. Ensure that the technical specifications align with your system's impedance and power supply constraints prior to integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a broadband silicon RF amplifier with moderate gain is required. The TO-8-1 package offers a standard form factor for legacy or specific board layouts. Consider the 6.0 dB noise figure and 20 dB gain profile against system sensitivity requirements. Verify thermal management needs associated with the internal power dissipation in the metal can package.

Part Context
