Description
The
MAAP-000042-PKG0003
is a 3-stage 1 W power am-
plifier with on-chip bias networks in a 20 lead MLP pack-
age, allowing easy assembly. This product is fully
matched to 50 ohms on both the input and output. It can
be used as a power amplifier stage or as a driver stage in
high power applications.
Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure performance
compliance. The part is fabricated using M/A-COM’s
GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate (MSAG™) Process.
