Product Overview Mini-Circuits’ AVM-273HPK+ is a MMIC amplifier subsystem consisting of a MMIC amplifier and an auto- voltage sequencing module. The MMIC amplifier is designed using 0.15µm PHEMT technology and pro- vides very wideband performance, medium power and unconditional stability. Furthermore, its outstanding isolation enables it to be used as a wideband isolation amplifier or buffer amplifier, making this an ideal amplifier for use in a variety of microwave systems including point-to-point radio, military EW and radar, DBS, and VSAT. The included voltage sequencing and DC control module enables plug-and-play opera- tion without the need for external voltage sequencing circuits. Feature Advantages Wideband Wide frequency coverage up to 26.5 GHz supports many microwave applications. Pout up to +27 dBm Can be used as a low-cost driver for high power amplifiers. Excellent active directivity, 43 dB @ 20 GHz (directivity = isolation – gain) Can be used as an inter-stage isolation amplifier, minimizing interaction of adjacent components. Unconditionally stable Eliminates the need for any compensating network to prevent unintended oscillation. Small package Small size for high power with low inductance, repeatable transitions, and excellent ther- mal contact to PCB. Voltage Sequencing and DC Control Module included. Provides correct voltage sequence and DC control, as well as reverse polarity protection, replacing over 20 discrete components and greatly simplifying circuit design. AVM-273HPK+
