Description
M/A-COM's MAIA-007851 is a 850-960 MHz, high
efficiency, low cost transmit module designed for
RFID applications. This module includes buffer
amplifiers, a passive mixer, and a high efficiency
power amplifier, encapsulated in a low cost,
miniature surface mount PQFN 6 mm square, 28
lead plastic package. The dies utilize M/A-COM’s
unique HMIC silicon/glass and GaAs processes.
The product performance maximizes the advantages
provided by these processes with the realization of
low loss passive elements and efficient diode
technology which in turn provides excellent harmonic
suppression and output noise performance. In
addition, this module includes matching networks to
achieve 50 ohm input and output impedances,
therefore no external RF matching is required.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide and Silicon 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.
1. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
2. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
