ABA-52563
3.5 GHz Broadband Silicon RFIC Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Avago’s ABA-52563 is an economical, easy-to-use, inter-
nally 50-ohm matched silicon monolithic amplifier that
offers excellent gain and flat broadband response from
DC to 3.5 GHz. Packaged in an ultraminiature industry-
standard SOT-363 package, it requires half the board
space of a SOT-143 package.
At 2 GHz, the ABA-52563 offers a small-signal gain of
21.5 dB, output P1dB of 9.8 dBm and 19.9 dBm output third
order intercept point. It is suitable for use as buffer ampli-
fiers for wideband applications. They are designed for low
cost gain blocks in cellular applications, DBS tuners, LNB
and other wireless communications systems.
ABA-52563 is fabricated using Avago’s HP25 silicon
bipolar process, which employs a double-diffused single
polysilicon process with self-aligned submicron emitter
geometry. The process is capable of simultaneous high fT
and high NPN breakdown (25 GHz fT at 6V BVCEO). The
process utilizes industry standard device oxide isolation
technologies and submicron aluminum multilayer inter-
connect to achieve superior performance, high uniformity,
and proven reliability.

Notes:
1. Measurements taken on 50Ω test board shown on Figure 1. Excess circuit losses had been de-embedded from actual measurements. Standard
deviation and typical data based on at least 500 parts sample size from 6 wafer lots. Future wafers allocated to this product may have nominal
values anywhere within the upper and lower spec limits.
