Versatile GaN MMIC low noise amplifiers added to extensive portfolio

Custom MMIC, a leading developer of performance-driven MMICs, continues to rapidly add to its extensive GaAs and GaN MMIC portfolio. Three new unique GaN LNAs are now fully released and offered with easy to use evaluation boards. The CMD276C4, CMD277C4 and CMD278C4 GaN MMIC LNAs produce high linearity performance with output IP3 of +32dBm while delivering high input power handling of 5W. The high input power handling feature allows system designers to bypass limiters and other protection networks, while still producing very low noise figure over the operating bandwidth. These new MMIC LNAs are housed in a leadless 4mm x 4mm QFN package. They are perfectly suited for radar and EW applications where high performance and high input power survivability are needed.
