The TriQuint TGA6345-EEU is a monolithic amplifier which operates over the 2 to 18 GHz Frequency range. This device consist of three cascaded distributed amplifier sections. Typical small signal gain is 23 dB, which is adjustable by using the control voltage, VCTRL. The TGA6345-EEU provides 22 dBm typical output power at 1 dB gain compression. The TGA6345-EEU is suitable for a variety of applications such as phased array radar's and wide-band electronic warfare systems including jammers and expendable decoys, and electronic counter measures. Bond pad and backside metallization is gold plated for compatibility with eutectic alloy attachment methods as well as the thermosonic wire bonding processes. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization.
