The ISL74324REFEV1Z is a ready-to-use, radiation tolerant radio-frequency (RF) gain block for space communications systems. In this design, the ISL74324M 500MHz to 6.5GHz SiGe BiCMOS broadband RF amplifier is paired with our ISL75054M ultra-low noise, high-PSRR LDO, which delivers clean power to the amplifier from a single supply. Two on-board switches select a 3.3V or 5V supply and a 40mA or 60mA bias current, so you can optimize the linearity vs. efficiency trade-off, while LEDs show the active setting. At 5V and 60mA, the amplifier delivers 16.6dB gain, +38.4dBm OIP3, and a 2.2dB noise figure at 4.2GHz. A STBY jumper places the amplifier in low-power standby mode.
