SMA36

RF Amplifiers Overview

The SMA36 is a surface-mount RF amplifier manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions, designed for general-purpose applications across an 80MHz to 2GHz frequency range. It utilizes Silicon technology and operates with a 15V supply voltage and 63mA current consumption. Key electrical parameters include a gain of 16.5dB, a noise figure of 5.5dB, and a P1dB compression point of 12dBm. The device is housed in a 4-SMD module package and is suitable for GPS and wideband signal processing tasks.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number SMA36 against official MACOM documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure that the 4-SMD package footprint matches the design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest environmental declarations provided by the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-noise, moderate-gain amplifier is required for frequencies up to 2GHz. The 16.5dB gain and 5.5dB noise figure make it suitable for sensitive reception stages. Consider the 15V supply requirement and 63mA current draw for power budget calculations. The SMD package facilitates automated assembly processes.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This component belongs to the SMA36 series of RF amplifiers from MACOM Technology Solutions. It is distinct from other variants like the SMA36-1 or CA36-1, which may offer different frequency ranges or connector types. The SMA36 specifically targets the 80MHz to 2GHz band with a focus on general-purpose amplification needs.
