distortion in a lead-free 3mm 12-lead PQFN plastic
package. The design features 75 Ω inputs and
outputs.
The MAAM-008821 is ideally suited for multi-tuner
set top boxes, home gateways, and other broadband
internet based appliances.
The MAAM-008821 is fabricated using M/A-COM
Technology’s pHEMT process to realize low noise
and low distortion.
The process features full
passivation for robust 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. An external protection circuit using an
inexpensive anti-parallel diode pair can be used to
protect the IC.
Please reference application note AN3028 on
http://www.macomtech.com for further detail.
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. M/A-COM Technology does not recommend sustained
operation near these survivability limits.
6. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 10
6
hours.
7. Junction Temperature (T

) = T
