Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC␣ Amplifier Technical Data
MSA-0785
Features
Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block Low Operating
Voltage: 4.0 V Typical Vd 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 2.0 GHz 12.5 dB Typical Gain at 1.0␣ GHz Unconditionally Stable (k>1) Low Cost Plastic Package
plastic package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF
amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications. The MSA-series is fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT, 25␣ GHz f MAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
