noise figure designed for operation from 1.4 to 4.0
GHz. The LNA is packaged in an RoHS compliant
leadless 2 mm 8-lead PDFN package.
This MMIC has an integrated active bias circuit
allowing direct connection to +3 V voltage supply
and minimizing variation over temperature and
process. The bias current and gain can be set with
external resistors to allow the user to customize the
current and gain value to fit the application.
The MAAL-010706 offers less than 0.7 dB noise
figure, more than 34 dBm OIP3 and 20 dB input
return loss. The excellent input match, low noise
figure and high OIP3 along with the flexibility of
setting current and gain make this LNA ideal for 3G
and 4G cellular infrastructure applications.
For optimum performance below 1.4 GHz the MAAL
-010705 is recommended. The MAAL-010706 and
MAAL-010705 share the package type and footprint.

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
class 1A devices.
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. M/A-COM Technology Solutions does not recommend
sustained operation near these survivability limits.
6.
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 45 °C/W.
