Preliminary Datasheet
Description
The
MAAPGM0076-DIE
is a 2-stage 16 W power amplifier with on-chip bias net-
works. 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 appli-
cations.
Fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable, high performance and highly reliable
GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate (MSAG™)Process, each device is 100%
RF tested on wafer to ensure performance compliance.
M/A-COM’s MSAG™ process features robust silicon-like manufacturing proc-
esses, planar processing of ion implanted transistors, multiple implant capability
enabling power, low-noise, switch and digital FETs on a single chip, and polyim-
ide scratch protection for ease of use with automated manufacturing processes.
The use of refractory metals and the absence of platinum in the gate metal for-
mulation prevents hydrogen poisoning when employed in hermetic packaging.
