The MRFIC0915 and MRFIC0916 are cost-effective, high isolation cascode
amplifiers that operate at frequencies ranging from 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz. These
unique silicon monolithic ICs are available in the industry standard SOT-143
miniature surface mount package, saving significant printed circuit board space in
a wide variety of applications. Both devices have on-chip bias circuitry that sets the
bias point, while off-chip matching maximizes design flexibility and efficiency.
The MRFIC0915 is a lower bias current (2.5 mA) version of the MRFIC0916,
which has a bias current of 5.6 mA at a supply voltage of 2.7 V. The higher current
MRFIC0916 offers improved specifications for Small Signal Gain, Reverse Isolation,
and Output Power. These integrated cascode amplifiers are ideal for Voltage
Controlled Oscillators (VCOs), buffer amplifiers, Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs),
mixers, and IF amplifiers in RF end products.
