SMA66

RF Amplifiers Overview

The SMA66 is a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) radio frequency amplifier manufactured by MACOM Technology Solutions. Designed for surface-mount applications, this device operates within a frequency range of 5 MHz to 1.25 GHz. It provides a typical gain of 23.5 dB with a noise figure of 4 dB. The component utilizes a 4-SMD module package and requires an operating supply voltage up to 15 V. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 15 dBm and an OIP3 of 28 dBm. It supports a maximum supply voltage of 17 V and functions across a temperature range from -54°C to +125°C.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix or variant against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with your design requirements. Confirm that the 4-SMD package footprint matches your PCB layout constraints. Ensure power supply specifications align with the 15 V operating requirement and check thermal management needs for high-temperature environments.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select the SMA66 when a broadband RF amplifier is required for frequencies extending up to 1.25 GHz in a small form factor. Consider its 4 dB noise figure for low-noise reception applications. Evaluate the 15 dBm output power capability against system link budget requirements before finalizing the component choice for integration.
