Description
M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0056 RF driver amplifier is a
two stage GaAs MMIC which exhibits exceptional
linearity performance as well as featuring high gain
in a lead-free SOIC-8EP surface mount plastic
package. The device runs off a single +5 volt supply
and draws 190 mA typically.
The MAAMSS0056 is fabricated using a high
reliability GaAs HBT process to realize low current
and high power functionality. The process features
full passivation for increased performance and
reliability.
The MAAMSS0056 has been designed to be a
functional driver amplifier from 250 to 4000 MHz.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
The PCB dielectric between RF traces and RF ground lay-
ers should be chosen to reduce RF discontinuities between
50
Ω
lines and package pins. M/A-COM recommends an
FR-4 dielectric thickness of 0.008” (0.20 mm) yielding a 50
Ω
line width of 0.015” (0.38 mm). The recommended RF
metalization is 1 ounce copper.
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
