SNA-486 DC-6.5 GHz Cascadable MMIC Amplifier

NOTE: While the SNA-486 can be operated at different bias currents, 65 mA is the recommended bias for

lower junction temperature and longer life. This reflects typical operating conditions which we have found

to be an optimal balance between high IP3 and MTTF. In general, MTTF is improved to more than 100,000

hours when biasing at 65 mA and operating up to 85°C ambient temperature.
