Description 2 dB
Functional Block Diagram

The ENGEQ00134 is a die with 3 gain


equalizers. The part is ideal for select at
test applications. The signal path is
selected by wire bond connections to 2 dB
the bond pads associated for 2-, 3.5-, or
5-dB gain slope, while maintaining good
impedance match to 50 Ohms. The die
has a gold backside metallization and is 3.5 dB
designed to be silver epoxy attached.
The RF interconnects are designed to
account for wire bonds and external
microstrip flares for optimal integrated 5 dB
return loss. Nichrome resistors with low
temperature coefficients are set up to
handle up to 100 milliwatts RF input
power levels.
