GALI-24+

Overview

The GALI-24+ is a wideband monolithic amplifier from Mini-Circuits, offering high dynamic range and repeatable performance across its operating frequency. It functions as a CATV amplifier with a gain of 12.4 dB and a noise figure of 5.3 dB. The device operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 6 GHz, powered by a supply voltage between 5.4 V and 6.2 V at a current of 80 mA. Key linearity metrics include a P1dB compression point of 19.4 dBm and an OIP3 of 30.3 dBm. Enclosed in a SOT-89 surface-mount package, it utilizes InGaP technology for robust RF signal amplification.

Feature Summary

• Wideband operation covering DC to 6 GHz for versatile signal processing
• High dynamic range suitable for demanding RF applications
• Repeatable performance consistency across manufacturing lots
• RoHS compliant construction with lead finish SnAgNi

Applications

• CATV systems
• DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite)
• MMDS (Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service)
• Wireless LAN infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct packaging configuration, such as tape and reel or cut tape options. Confirm that the RoHS compliance status aligns with current environmental regulations for your region. Ensure the SOT-89 footprint matches your PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband solution from DC to 6 GHz is required with moderate gain and low noise characteristics. The 12.4 dB gain and 5.3 dB noise figure make it suitable for front-end stages where signal integrity is critical. Consider the SOT-89 package size for space-constrained designs requiring surface-mount assembly.

Part Context

The GALI-24+ belongs to Mini-Circuits' GALI series of monolithic RF amplifiers. This family is known for providing reliable, high-performance amplification solutions in compact surface-mount packages. The '+' designation indicates RoHS compliance, distinguishing it from older non-compliant variants while maintaining identical electrical specifications and pinout configurations.
