Key Features
Ultra Low Noise MMIC Amplier
PSA-5454+
50Ω 0.05 to 4 GHz
CASE STYLE: CA1389
Product Overview
Mini-Circuits PSA-5454+ is a E-PHEMT based Ultra-Low Noise MMIC Amplifier operating from 50 MHz to
4 GHz with a unique combination of low noise and high IP3 making this amplifier ideal for sensitive receiver
applications. This design operates on a single 5V supply at only 20mA and is internally matched to 50
ohms.
Feature Advantages
Ultra Low Noise, 0.8 dB Outstanding Noise Figure, measured in a 50 Ohm environment without any external matching
High IP3, 25 dBm
Combining Low Noise and High IP3 makes this MMIC amplifier ideal for Low Noise
Receiver Front End (RFE) because it gives the user advantages at both ends of the dynamic
range: sensitivity & two-tone spur-free dynamic range
Low Current, 20 mA At only 20mA, the PSA-5454+ is ideal for remote applications with limited available power or
densely packed applications where thermal management is critical.
Broad Band Operating over a broadband the PSA-5454+ covers the primary wireless communications bands:
Cellular, PCS, LTE, WiMAX
Internally Matched No external matching elements required to achieve the advertised noise and output power over the
full band
SOT-363 Package Small size, industry standard package
Max Input Power, +15dBm Ruggedized design operates up to input powers of +15dBm without the need of an external limiter
High Reliability Low, small signal operating current of 30 mA nominal maintains junction temperatures typically
below 105°C at 85°C ground lead temperature
The Big Deal
• Ultra Low Noise Figure, 0.8 dB
• High IP3/Low Current, 20mA at +5V
• Wideband, up to 4 GHz
Low Noise, High IP3
Monolithic Amplier
