Description
M/A-COM’s MAAL-007304 low noise amplifier is a
GaAs MMIC amplifier in a lead-free SOT-26 surface
mount plastic package. The MAAL-007304 employs
a monolithic 2-stage self-biased design and can be
biased between +3 to +5 volts, depending on system
requirements. The MAAL-007304 offers low noise,
low current, and high gain. It can be tuned for
various applications from 0.5 to 3 GHz.
M/A-COM fabricates the MAAL-007304 using a low
noise pHEMT process to realize low noise and high
gain. The process features full passivation for
performance and reliability.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
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.
†
Reference Application Note M538 for lead-free solder reflow
recommendations.
Meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
