PMA3-14LN+

PMA3-14LN+ is a pHEMT wideband low-noise amplifier from Mini-Circuits in a QFN-12 3x3 mm (MCLP) package, covering 0.05 GHz to 10 GHz with 22.6 dB typical gain, a 1.0 dB noise figure at 2 GHz, +22.9 dBm P1dB and +31.8 dBm OIP3, drawing a typical 67 mA from a 6 V supply. One device therefore covers low-band through X-band-adjacent front ends with both high gain and low noise, so multi-band receivers and test equipment can standardise on a single first stage instead of stocking band-specific amplifiers. The small leadless footprint also frees board area in dense RF layouts. Selection advice: choose PMA3-14LN+ when you need gain above 20 dB together with a low noise figure across a very wide band; confirm gain flatness and noise figure at your highest operating frequency in the datasheet, and plan the QFN thermal pad and grounding carefully, since RF performance depends on it.
