Description
M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0017 IF driver amplifier is a
GaAs MMIC which exhibits high OIP3 as well as high
gain and low power consumption in a low-cost minia-
ture SOT89 surface mount plastic package. The
MAAMSS0017 employs a monolithic single stage
design featuring a convenient 50 ohm input/output
impedance that minimizes the number of external
components required. The device runs off a single
+5 volt supply and draws 70 mA typically. The d
e-
sign provides excellent performance from 50 to 450
MHz.
The MAAMSS0017 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s
iHBT process to realize low current and high power
functionality. The process features full passivation
for increased performance and reliability.
