Description
M/A-COM's MA4TD4135 and MA4TD4136 are high
performance silicon bipolar MMICs housed in a cost effective
ceramic microstrip packages. The MA4TD4135 and
MA4TD4136 are designed for use where a general purpose
50Ω gain block is required. Typical applications include
narrow and wide band IF and RF amplifiers in industrial and
military applications.
The MA4TD4135 and MA4TD4136 are fabricated using a 10
GHz fT silicon bipolar technology that features gold
metalization and IC passivation for increased performance
and reliability.
