MMIC Silicon Bipolar Broadband Amplifier
ISL55015
Features
The ISL55015 is a high performance gain block featuring a
Darlington configuration using high fT transistors and excellent
thermal performance. They are an ideal choice for DVB-S LNB
cable receiver applications.
• Input impedance of 75Ω
• ISL55012 and ISL55015 match a 75Ω source to a 50Ω load
• ISL55013 and ISL55014 match a 50Ω source to a 50Ω load

NOTES:
1. Please refer to TB347 for details on reel specifications.
• Bluetooth/WiFi
2. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pbfree material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and
100% matte tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is
RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free
soldering operations). Intersil Pb-free products are MSL classified
at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pbfree requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
• Satellite locator and signal strength meters
3. For Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), please see device information
page for ISL55015. For more information on MSL please see
techbrief TB363.
