General Description
Gali 74+ (RoHS compliant) is a wideband amplifier offering high dynamic range. It has repeatable
performance from lot to lot, and is enclosed in a SOT-89 package. It uses patented Transient Protected
Darlington configuration and is fabricated using InGaP HBT technology. Expected MTTF is 500 years at
85°C case temperature. Gali 74+ is designed to be rugged for ESD and supply switch-on transients.

Function Pin Number Description

RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen
RF IN 1
for the frequency of operation.
RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking
capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias
RF-OUT and DC-IN 3
without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in “Recommended
Application Circuit”.
Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB
GND 2,4
Design” to reduce ground path inductance for best performance.
