Functional Block Diagram
Description
M/A-COM’s MAAPSS0095 is a high power three
stage HBT power amplifier tuned to operate in the
RFID bands in the US, the EU and Japan.
The MAAPSS0095 can also be used in other
applications where high power and high efficiency
are required, such as remote meter reading,
electronic vehicle toll systems and ISM applications
at 900 MHz. The high power and efficiency at 3.3 V
make the MAAPSS0095 ideal for mobile
applications.
The MAAPSS0095 is packaged in a lead-free 3 mm,
16-lead PQFN package and includes bias networks
that can be controlled by analog signals to switch
from active to standby modes.
M/A-COM fabricates the MAAPSS0095 using a
proprietary InGaP/GaAs HBT process for improved
performance over temperature, higher reliability, and
improved manufacturability.
