The NBB-400 cascadable broadband InGaP/GaAs MMIC amplifier is a low-cost, high-performance solution for general purpose RF and microwave amplification needs. This 50 gain block is based on a reliable HBT proprietary MMIC design, providing unsurpassed performance for small-signal applications. Designed with an external bias resistor, the NBB-400 provides flexibility and stability. The NBB-400 is packaged in a low-cost, surface-mount ceramic package, providing ease of assembly for highvolume tape-and-reel requirements. It is available in either packaged or chip (NBB-400-D) form, where its gold metallization is ideal for hybrid circuit designs.
