DESCRIPTION

LTC6431-20 

50

Ω

 20dB Gain Block 

IF Amplifier

Demonstration circuit 2077A features the 

LTC

®

6431-20

 

50Ω gain block IF amplifier. The LTC6431-20 has a power 

gain of 20.8dB and it is part of the LTC6431-YY amplifier 

series.
The DC2077A demo board supports the LTC6431-YY am-

plifier family. The DC2077A demo board is optimized for 

a frequency range from 100MHz to 1200MHz. It incorpo-

rates a minimum of passive components to configure the

amplifier for various applications. The LTC6431-20 pro-

vides 50Ω single-ended input and output impedances so 

that it can be easily evaluated with most RF test equipment.
