Preliminary Datasheet
Description
The
MAAP-000073-PKG003
is a 3-stage 1.0 W power amplifier
with on-chip bias networks in a 20 lead, 5 mm PQFN package,
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.
The 5 mm PQFN package has a lead-free finish of leads that are
RoHS compliant and is compatible with a 260
o
C reflow tempera-
ture. The package also features low lead inductance and an
excellent thermal path. The MTTF is 1,000,000 hours at 170
o
C.
