PSPL5867 Datasheet
The PSPL5867 is a broadband linear amplifier intended for use amplifying signals with a minimum amount of distortion. The PSPL5867 demonstrates exceptional gain flatness and low deviation from linear phase while providing a bandwidth of 10 kHz to 15 GHz. This amplifier is ideal for use as a linear gain block in applications such as 12.5 Gb/s fiber optic receiver channels.
Key performance specifications
- Broadband linear amplifier with 15 dB gain
- 10 kHz to 15 GHz bandwidth
- Low deviation from linear phase (±3 degrees)
- 1 dB compression point of 13 dBm
- RF power detection
