MSA-0886

Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Technical Data MSA-0886 Features Usable Gain to 5.5 GHz High Gain: 32.5 dB Typical at 0.1 GHz 22.5 dB Typical at 1.0 GHz Low Noise Figure: 3.3 dB Typical at 1.0 GHz Surface Mount Plastic Package Tape-and-Reel Packaging Option Available[1] Note: 1. Refer to PACKAGING section “Tapeand-Reel Packaging for Semiconductor Devices.” Description The MSA-0886 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a low cost, surface mount plastic package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block above 0.5 GHz and can be used as a high gain transistor below this frequency. Typical applications include narrow and moderate band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications. The MSA-series is fabricated using Agilent’s 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, 86 Plastic Package 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.
