ZX60-83MP-S+

Overview

The ZX60-83MP-S+ is a connectorized medium power linear amplifier from Mini-Circuits, designed for broadband applications. It operates over a frequency range of 400 MHz to 8000 MHz with a 50Ω impedance. The device provides a gain of 16.5 dB and a noise figure ranging from 2.8 to 3.5 dB. Key performance metrics include a P1dB compression point of 17.5 dBm and an OIP3 of 29.5 dBm. It requires a supply voltage of 5 V and draws a current of 175 mA. The unit utilizes SMA connectors and is housed in the GC957 case style.

Feature Summary

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and electrical test conditions prior to procurement. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with the component specifications. Ensure interface compatibility with existing SMA-based circuitry. Validate supply voltage requirements against system power rails. Check for any recent product change notifications affecting performance parameters.

Selection Notes

Select this component when broadband coverage from 400 MHz to 8 GHz is required within a single stage. Consider the trade-off between the 17.5 dBm P1dB output power and the 175 mA supply current. Evaluate the noise figure performance relative to system sensitivity requirements. Compare the physical dimensions of the GC957 package against available board space constraints.

Part Context

This model belongs to the ZX60 series of RF amplifiers manufactured by Mini-Circuits. The series focuses on providing high-performance signal conditioning solutions for demanding radio frequency environments. The ZX60-83MP-S+ specifically targets medium power applications requiring wide bandwidth operation.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Mini-Circuits documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers. Verify that alternative components match the 400 MHz to 8 GHz frequency range and 50Ω impedance. Ensure pinout and mechanical footprint compatibility if direct replacement is intended.
