Agilent MGA-425P8
GaAs Enchancement-mode
PHEMT Power Amplifier in
2x2 mm2 LPCC Package
Data Sheet
Description
Agilent Technologies’s MGA-425P8
power amplifier is designed for
wireless application in the
2–10 GHz frequency range. The PA
has a high power efficiency (PAE)
achieved through the use of Agilent
Technologies’s proprietary GaAs
Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.
MGA-425P8 is housed in a miniature
2.0 x 2.0 x 0.75 mm 8-lead leadless-
plastic-chip-carrier (LPCC) package.
The compact footprint, low profile
couple with the excellent thermal
efficiency of the LPCC package
makes the MGA-425P8 an ideal
choice as power amplifier that saves
board space.
On-chip bias circuitry allows
operation from a single +3.3V
power supply. The output of the
amplifier is near to 50 (below 2:1
VSWR) around 4.9–5.8 GHz. This
makes MGA-425P8 an ideal choice
as power amplifier for broadband
IEEE 802.11a system as well as
other high performance wireless
application in the 2–10 GHz
frequency range.
One external resistor (RBias) is
used to set the bias current of the
device over a wide range.
This allows the designer to use the
same part in several circuit posi-
tions and tailor the output power/
linearity performance, and current
consumption, to suit each position.

taken from 3 different wafers and 3 different
lots. Future wafers allocated to this product
may have nominal values anywhere between
the upper and lower limits.
6. Measurements are made on production test
board, which represents a trade-off between
optimal OIP3, P1dB, Gain and VSWR. Circuit
losses have been de-embedded from actual
