PSPL5867 Datasheet

The PSPL5867 is a broadband linear amplifier intended for use amplifying signals with a minimum amount of distortion. The PSPL5867 demonstrates exceptional gain flatness and low deviation from linear phase while providing a bandwidth of 10 kHz to 15 GHz. This amplifier is ideal for use as a linear gain block in applications such as 12.5 Gb/s fiber optic receiver channels.

Key performance specifications
  • Broadband linear amplifier with 15 dB gain
  • 10 kHz to 15 GHz bandwidth
  • Low deviation from linear phase (±3 degrees)
  • 1 dB compression point of 13 dBm
  • RF power detection
