BIF3

RF Amplifiers Overview

The BIF3 is a high-performance InGaP/GaAs HBT MMIC RF amplifier manufactured by BeRex Corp. It operates within a frequency range of 5MHz to 800MHz and is housed in an SOT-89-3 package. The device features an internal 50 Ohm match and includes patented over-voltage protection. Key electrical specifications include a gain of 20.3dB, a noise figure of 5.1dB, and a P1dB output power of 23.5dBm at a test frequency of 70MHz. It requires a supply voltage of 4V to 5.25V with a current consumption between 68mA and 102mA.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Internal 50 Ohm impedance matching simplifies circuit integration
• Surface mount SOT-89-3 packaging for compact PCB layouts

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Intermediate Frequency (IF) amplification stages
• Wireless communication systems operating in the 5MHz to 800MHz band
• RF front-end modules requiring low noise performance

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix required for your production needs, such as tape and reel quantities versus cut tape options. Confirm that the supply voltage range of 4V to 5.25V aligns with your system's power delivery architecture. Ensure compatibility with the SOT-89-3 footprint during PCB layout. Check RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your manufacturing process. Validate thermal management requirements based on the specified current consumption levels.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select the BIF3 when a wide bandwidth from 5MHz to 800MHz is required alongside high linearity indicated by the 23.5dBm P1dB specification. The 5.1dB noise figure makes it suitable for sensitive receiver applications. Consider the internal 50 Ohm match to reduce external component count. Evaluate the SOT-89-3 package size against available board space constraints. Compare the 20.3dB gain against system link budget requirements to determine if additional amplification stages are necessary.
