GVA-82+

Overview

The GVA-82+ is a wideband monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier manufactured using InGaP HBT technology. It operates from DC to 7 GHz and provides high dynamic range with a typical gain of 9.9 dB. The device requires a 5 V operating supply voltage and draws 106 mA of current. Packaged in an SOT-89 outline, it features a patented transient protection Darlington configuration for enhanced stability and durability.

Feature Summary

• Patented transient protection Darlington configuration ensures operational stability and component durability under varying conditions.
• InGaP HBT technology enables repeatable performance consistency across manufacturing lots.

Applications

• CATV systems
• DBS receivers
• LTE infrastructure
• Wireless LAN

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation on the datasheet or ordering guide to confirm RoHS compliance status and lead finish specifications. Ensure the selected package variant matches the required PCB footprint. Confirm that the operating frequency range aligns with system requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a broadband solution covering DC to 7 GHz is required alongside high linearity. The fixed 5 V supply requirement and specific current draw must be accommodated within the power budget. Consider the SOT-89 package constraints for thermal management and board space allocation during design integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Mini-Circuits GVA series of MMIC amplifiers. These components are designed for general-purpose RF applications requiring reliable amplification without external matching networks. The series utilizes robust semiconductor processes to maintain performance across wide bandwidths.

Replacement Considerations

The MGVA-82+ is a dual-matched variant in the same family but operates up to 5200 MHz and uses a QFN package. Verify interface compatibility and frequency coverage differences before substitution.
