Cascadable Silicon Bipolar
MMIC Amplifier
Technical Data
MSA-0285
Features
• Cascadable 50
Ω
Gain Block
• 3 dB Bandwidth:
DC to 2.6 GHz
• 12.0 dB Typical Gain at
1.0 GHz
• Unconditionally Stable
(k>1)
• Low Cost Plastic Package
designed for use as a general
purpose 50
Ω
gain block. Typical
applications include narrow and
broad band IF and RF amplifiers
in industrial and military
applications.
The MSA-series is fabricated using
HP’s 10 GHz f
T
, 25 GHz f
MAX
,
silicon bipolar MMIC process
which uses nitride self-alignment,
ion implantation, and gold metalli-
zation to achieve excellent
performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external
bias resistor for temperature and
current stability also allows bias
flexibility.
