PSPL5828A Datasheet
This Ultra-Broadband Amplifier is an excellent choice for either pulse or RF applications. It offers a very attractive price/performance ratio. It is AC coupled and is extremely broadband, covering 5 ½ decades from 50 kHz to 14 GHz. It has clean transient response and smooth gain vs. frequency response. This is a stable 50 Ω amplifier, and several can be connected in cascade for higher gains. The PSPL5828A is ideal for 10 Gb/s systems.
