MSA-0986-TR1G

RF Amplifiers Overview

The MSA-0986-TR1G is a general-purpose RF amplifier IC manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It operates within a frequency range of 100 MHz to 5.5 GHz, with testing typically conducted at 2 GHz. The device requires an operating supply voltage between 6.2 V and 9.4 V and draws a supply current ranging from 25 mA to 45 mA. Key electrical parameters include a gain of 6 dB to 7.2 dB, a noise figure of 6.2 dB, and a P1dB output power of 10.5 dBm. It is housed in an SOT-86 plastic package (86 Plastic Package) and utilizes Silicon technology.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted, and distributors may not stock this item in all regions. Verification of current lifecycle status and alternative sourcing options is required before procurement planning. Ensure compatibility with existing designs given the discontinuation status.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this part only if the design specifically requires the 100 MHz to 5.5 GHz frequency range and the specified gain and noise performance. Consider the SOT-86 package constraints and the 6.2 V to 9.4 V supply requirement. Due to its obsolete status, evaluate long-term supply chain risks and potential need for redesign using newer alternatives.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

The MSA-0986-TR1G belongs to Broadcom's portfolio of RF amplifiers, specifically tailored for ISM applications. It is part of a series that includes variants like the MSA-0786 and MSA-0486, differing primarily in frequency coverage and gain specifications. This model bridges lower and higher frequency needs within the ISM bands.
