MSA-0486-TR2G

RF Amplifiers Overview

The MSA-0486-TR2G is a cascadable silicon bipolar MMIC amplifier designed for ISM applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0 Hz to 3.2 GHz and utilizes an 86-pin plastic package. The device provides high performance with a gain of 18 dB and a noise figure of 3 dB at a test frequency of 500 MHz. It functions on a supply voltage of 4 V with a current consumption of 20 mA, achieving an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 14 dBm. The component supports surface mount installation and has a maximum operating temperature of +150°C.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TR2G against the official Broadcom datasheet to confirm packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm end-of-life status as distribution channels may list obsolete inventory. Ensure compatibility with 86-pin plastic package footprints during PCB layout verification.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when broadband coverage from DC to 3.2 GHz is required in a compact SMD form factor. Consider the 4V supply requirement and 20mA current draw for power budget calculations. Evaluate the 14 dBm OIP3 against system linearity requirements before choosing over higher-power alternatives.
