High brightness on surface mount LEDs.
Agilent Technologies has introduced a series of surface-mount LEDs designed and qualified specifically for automobile interior and exterior lighting applications.
The device has an excellent combination of low noise figure and very high third-order intercept point (IP3) at low DC bias power.
Typical performance at 1.9GHz (5V, 54mA) is 1.5dB noise figure, +39dBm OIP3, +18.6dBm P1dB and 15.4dB associated gain.
With high IP3 and low noise figure, the MGA-53543 may be used as a driver amplifier in the transmit chain or as a first or second stage LNA in the receive chain of cellular/PCS/W-CDMA basestation designs.
Other applications include basestation radio cards, fixed wireless and wireless LANs as well as other high-performance applications in the 450MHz to 6GHz frequency range.
Compared with competing high-linearity amplifiers, the Agilent MGA-53543 has a lower noise figure, uses less power (DC bias power of only 250mW compared with 750mW for competing parts), and is more affordable.
The MGA-53543 is also housed in a miniature SC-70 (SOT-343) surface mount plastic package, occupying significantly less board space than conventional SOT-89 devices. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
