ZFL-1000VH2+

Overview

The ZFL-1000VH2+ is a connectorized SMA medium power linear amplifier from Mini-Circuits, operating across a wideband frequency range of 10 MHz to 1000 MHz with a 50Ω impedance. It provides a typical gain of 28 dB and features a low noise figure of approximately 5 dB. The device requires a 15V supply voltage and draws 320 mA of current. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 25 dBm and an OIP3 of 34 dBm, ensuring high linearity for cellular, UHF, and VHF applications.

Feature Summary

• Wideband operation spanning 10 MHz to 1000 MHz
• High linearity with 28 dB gain and 25 dBm P1dB
• Low noise figure of 5 dB typical
• SMA connectorized module design

Applications

• Cellular communication systems
• UHF signal processing
• VHF transmission links

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (+) indicates RoHS compliance when sourcing. Confirm the SMA connector type matches system interface requirements. Check lead times as distribution availability varies. Ensure the 15V DC supply capability aligns with the host circuit design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring moderate output power combined with low noise performance in the VHF/UHF bands. Compare against the ZFL-1000LN+ if lower noise is critical but higher output power is not required. Consider the ZFL-1000VH+ if different packaging or historical part numbers are relevant to existing designs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ZFL series of broadband amplifiers by Mini-Circuits. It is designed as a gain block for RF and wireless applications. The part is distinct from the ZFL-1000LN+ which offers lower noise but significantly less output power. It serves as a linear amplifier solution for signal conditioning in radio frequency chains.

Replacement Considerations

The ZFL-1000VH+ is a related variant within the same product family. Verify electrical parameter compatibility if substituting. No other direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed.
