GVA-62+

Overview

The GVA-62+ is a surface-mount monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier fabricated using InGaP HBT technology. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 6 GHz and requires a 5 V supply voltage with an operating current of 82 mA. Key electrical parameters include a typical gain of 14.5 dB, a noise figure of 5.6 dB, a P1dB compression point of 11.7 dBm, and an OIP3 of 23 dBm. The device is housed in a compact SOT-89-4 package and supports operation temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes InGaP HBT technology for ultra-flat gain performance across the operational bandwidth.
• Designed as a medium-power linear amplifier suitable for CATV and broadband applications.
• Features a compact SOT-89-4 surface-mount package for efficient PCB integration.

Applications

• CATV signal distribution systems
• DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receivers
• LTE infrastructure components
• Wireless LAN equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Mini-Circuits or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the SOT-89-4 footprint matches your PCB design constraints. Ensure thermal management strategies account for the specified power dissipation characteristics during continuous operation.

Selection Notes

Select the GVA-62+ when a wideband solution covering 10 MHz to 6 GHz is required with moderate gain and linearity. Compare its 14.5 dB gain and 5.6 dB noise figure against alternatives if lower noise or higher output power is critical. Consider the SOT-89-4 package size relative to available board space compared to other MMIC options in the GVA series.

Part Context

The GVA-62+ belongs to the GVA series of RF amplifiers from Mini-Circuits, which are designed for general-purpose broadband applications. This series utilizes robust HBT technology to provide consistent performance across varying temperature conditions. The component serves as a versatile building block for RF front-end designs requiring reliable amplification in consumer and industrial wireless markets.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Mini-Circuits documentation for verified cross-reference part numbers. Do not assume functional equivalence with other GVA models without verifying pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment.
