better than 15 dB. This amplifier requires dual DC
supplies: 5 V (190 mA) and a low current
–5 V (<1 mA).
The MAAM-011109 integrates an ultra-broadband
bias choke, DC blocking and bypass capacitors.
Other features include a gate bias adjust pin to
change current setting for power or temperature, a
gain trim control pin that allows 15 dB of gain control
(0 to -1V), and a temperature compensated detector
pin that provides a DC voltage in relation to output
power.
The MAAM-011109 is ideally suited for any
application that requires 50 Ω gain from 10 MHz to
40 GHz. It is useful in applications where the
incoming signal varies over a broad bandwidth such
as laboratory, instrumentation, and defense
applications.
This device is housed in a leadless 5 X 5 X 1.3 mm
package that can be handled and placed with
standard pick and place assembly equipment. The
package base is a two layer laminate with overmold
fully compatible with PCB environment and wash
conditions. The module includes a GaAs MMIC that
is fully passivated 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
Class 1B devices.
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
6. Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤ 150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 10
6
hours.

Application Information for DC & pins
For proper MAAM-011109 operation a DC voltage
must be applied at the V
E
(-5 V) and V
D
(+5 V) pins
in that order.
The optional V
G
pin maybe used to
override the automatic V
E
bias network to hard set
the gate. Adjusting V
G
from -0.2 V to -0.6 V will
change the quiescent current. If V
G
is used, V
E
should be left unconnected.
The V
C
pin is typically left unconnected unless gain
control or output power limiting is desired. Please
refer to the ―Variable Gain/Limiting‖ section for
detailed usage.
The V
D
pin should be bypassed with at least 0.1 µF
for stability. For operation below 100 MHz a ferrite
bead (Murata BLM18BB471) must be inserted
between the V
D
pin and bypass capacitor. The V
G
and V
C
pins must also be bypassed with a 0.1 µF
capacitor if operating below 100 MHz.
The V
DET
pin is typically left unconnected unless a
voltage reference is desired that is correlated to the
output power. Please refer to the ―Internal Detector‖
section for detailed usage.
The B
C
pin is typically left unconnected unless gain
bandwidth and shape change is desired. Please
refer to an application note on this pin.
The input and output pins are internally DC blocked.
No more than +/- 12 V should ever be present on
these RF only pins.
The backside paddle of the MAAM-011109 should
be connected to ground with as many vias as
possible to maximize high frequency performance,
thermal dissipation, and stability.
