simpliﬁed schematic and pin description

Function Pin Number Description

RF IN 1RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the

frequency of operation.

RF-OUT and DC-IN 3

RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking capacitor

is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias without loss of RF

signal due to the bias connection, as shown in “Recommended Application Circuit”.

GND 2,4 Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB Design” to

reduce ground path inductance for best performance.

General Description

ERA-51SM+ (RoHS compliant) is a wideband amplier offering high dynamic range. It has repeatable per-

formance from lot to lot. It is enclosed in an Micro-X package. ERA-51SM+ uses Darlington conguration

and is fabricated using InGaP HBT technology. Expected MTBF is 450 years at 85°C case temperature.
