The Big Deal:
Product Overview:
YSF-232+ is an advanced amplifier module in a Mini-Circuits System In Package
. This module is fully
matched to 50 in/out impedance and has built-in Input & Output DC block capacitors. It is enclosed in a
5 x 6 mm MCLP plastic package. The YSF-232+ uses E-PHEMT technology enabling it to work with a
single positive supply voltage.
Feature
Advantages
Superior Gain Flatness ± 0.2dB
The YSF-232+ provides industry leading gain flatness over the full PCS/UMTS com-
munications band (1700-2300MHz) making this ideal for use in applications where
gain-flatness and repeatability are critical performance requirements.
High Gain
The YSF-232+ is a two-stage design with internal feedback and bias to provide flat
20 dB nominal gain, supporting applications where a single gain block must overcome
large system losses such as long cable runs and lossy components.
Strong Combination of Performance
The YSF-232+ provides a strong combination of performance parameters including
high gain (20 dB), high IP3 (+35 dBm) and P1dB (+20 dBm) and low noise figures (2.9
dB) that are difficult to achieve in a single stage design and available only in the YSF
amplifier series.
Integrated Matching, DC Blocking and
Bias in Small Package
The YSF-232+ includes all support circuits including: Matching, Bias and DC Block-
ing, all integrated into a single 5x6mm package making the total footprint equal to or
smaller than most solutions.
Excellent Return Loss
The YSF-232+ includes integrated input and output matching and bias circuits to
make this amplifier a simple, complete drop-in solution. The matching circuits provide
excellent output return loss (20dB), and are designed to give optimal P1dB and IP3
performance in a 50 environment.
High Reverse Isolation
With 30 dB of reverse isolation – the YSF-232+ is an ideal gain block for use in inte-
grated systems to minimize VSWR interactions resulting from cascading highly reflec-
tive components such as sharp filters.
