GVA-84+

Overview

The GVA-84+ is a surface-mount monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates over a frequency range of 0 Hz to 7 GHz, providing a typical gain of 10.5 dB and a noise figure of 6.8 dB. The device requires an operating supply voltage of 5 V and draws a current of 108 mA. Packaged in an SOT-89 outline, it is designed for high dynamic range performance with repeatable lot-to-lot characteristics.

Feature Summary

• Wideband operation from DC to 7 GHz
• High linear performance suitable for demanding applications
• SOT-89 surface mount package for compact integration

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Mini-Circuits datasheet to ensure correct RoHS compliance and lead finish specifications. Confirm that the SOT-89 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband amplifier covering up to 7 GHz is required with moderate gain levels. Consider the 108 mA supply current and 5 V requirement for power budgeting. Ensure the application benefits from its high dynamic range and linear performance characteristics.

Part Context

The GVA-84+ belongs to the GVA series of MMIC amplifiers from Mini-Circuits. This series is characterized by broadband capabilities and is commonly used in RF front-end designs where signal amplification across multiple bands is necessary without complex external matching networks.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Mini-Circuits documentation for direct substitutes within the GVA family or other wideband MMICs. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameters such as gain and noise figure when evaluating alternative components.
