PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The PMA3-14LN+ is a GaAs PHEMT based wideband, low noise MMIC amplifier with a unique combination of low noise, high
IP3, and high output power, over a wideband making it ideal for sensitive, high-dynamic range receiver applications. This
design operates on a single supply of 6V, is well matched for 50Ω and comes in a tiny, low profile package (3 x 3 mm-12 lead),
accommodating dense circuit board layouts.

Feature
Advantages
Low noise, 1.8dB Typical up to 10GHz
Enables lower system noise figure performance.
The PMA3-14LN+ matches industry leading IP3 performance relative to device size and power consumption. The
combination of the Design and PHEMT structure provides enhanced linearity over a board frequency range as evi-
dence in the IP3 being approximately 9-11dB above the P1dB point. This feature makes this amplifier ideal for use in:

Secondary amplifiers in ultra-high dynamic range receivers
Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable transitions, and excellent
thermal contact to the PCB.
3 x 3mm 12-lead MCLP package
Wide bandwidth with flat gain
Enables a single amplifier to be used in many wideband applications including defense, instrumentation and more.
