MSA-0636

Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC␣ Amplifiers Technical Data MSA-0635, -0636 Features Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block Low Operating Voltage: 3.5 V Typical Vd 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 0.9 GHz High Gain: 19.0␣ dB Typical at 0.5 GHz Low Noise Figure: 2.8 dB Typical at 0.5 GHz Cost Effective Ceramic Microstrip Package 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. Available in cut lead version (package 36) as MSA-0636. 35 micro-X Package[1] Note: 1. Short leaded 36 package available upon request. Description The MSA-0635 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a cost effective, microstrip package.
