DESCRIPTION
PHOTO ENLARGEMENT
The TC4523 is a 4 stage PHEMT MMIC power amplifier. It is designed for use in low cost, high volume, Ku band
applications. The MMIC is matched to 50ohm operation. No external matching component is required. It provides a
typical gain of 28 dB and P
1 dB
power of more than 27 dBm. Typical bias condition is 7V at 550 mA. The MMIC is a
packaged in a copper based ceramic 6 pins power package. The copper based carrier of the package allows direct
soldering of the device to the PCB for proper heat sinking.
