Teledyne HiRel Semiconductors Releases Enhanced Plastic VHF to S-Band (0.03 GHz to 5 GHz) Ultra-Low Noise Amplifiers for Military and Industrial Applications
Off-the-shelf VHF to S-Band RF LNAs for high-reliability applications
Teledyne HiRel Semiconductors announces the availability of two enhanced plastic (EP) VHF
to S-Band low noise amplifiers, models TDLNA2050EP and TDLNA0430EP which are ideal for use in demanding high
reliability applications where low noise figure, minimal power consumption and small package footprint are critical for
success. These LNAs, developed on a 250 nm enhancement depletion mode pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility
Transistor (pHEMT) process, are available in an 8-pin dual-flat no-lead (DFN) 2 mm x 2 mm x 0.75 mm plastic surface
mount package.
Both LNAs leverage monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design
techniques and deliver exceptional performance. The TDLNA2050EP amplifier is
ideal for S-band communications and delivers a gain of 17.5 dB from 2 GHz to
5 GHz, while maintaining a noise figure of less than 0.4 dB and an output power
(P1dB) of 19.5 dBm and should be biased at a VDD of +5.0 volts and IDDQ of 60 mA.
The TDLNA0430EP amplifier is ideal for VHF to S-band communications and
delivers a gain of 21.5 dB from 0.03 GHz to 3 GHz, while maintaining a
noise figure of less than 0.35 dB and an output power (P1dB) of 18.5 dBm
and should be biased at the same VDD of +5.0 volts and IDDQ of 60mA.
Both devices are well suited for communication systems, ensuring minimal
noise and distortion that could otherwise degrade digital signals in environments with high radio signal power levels.
Customer evaluation kits are available for both amplifiers.
“Today, we’re releasing two ultra-low noise amplifiers, optimized for military, avionics, and industrial applications,” said
Mont Taylor, Vice President, and Business Development Manager at Teledyne HiRel Semiconductors. “With noise figures of less than
0.35 dB coupled with ease of use from a positive single supply voltage, we believe these new products will provide
system designers with a superior solution for communication, phased array radar and avionics system applications.”
