Abstract :
The author describes the design of an analog ASIC to be used for amplification applications in the field of spatial telecommunications. It was produced using an HF2C bipolar technology developed by the French company Thomson TMS. The amplifier was designed as part of an equipment feasibility study for Alcatel Espace. The author discusses the input stage, variable gain stage, voltage regulator and layout.<>
