Ideal for use as a buffer amplifier minimizing interaction of adjacent circuits
Minimizes external components, component count and circuit area.
Amplifier can be used at low voltage such as +3V or standard +5V.
+5V operation results in higher P1dB and OIP3.
Tiny footprint saves space in dense layouts while providing low inductance, repeatable
transitions, and excellent thermal contact to the PCB.

MNA-4A+
CASE STYLE: DQ849
Typical Applications
• Buffer amplifier
• Cellular infrastructure
• Communications satellite
• Defense
+RoHS Compliant
The +Suffix identifies RoHS Compliance. See our web site
for RoHS Compliance methodologies and qualifications
General Description
MNA-4A+ is a wideband PHEMT based MMIC amplifier with high active Directivity. MNA integrates the entire
matching network and majority of the bias circuit inside the package, reducing the need for complicated exter-
nal circuits. This approach makes the MNA amplifier extremely straightforward to use. This design operates
on a single +2.8 to +5V supply, is well matched for 50Ω and comes in a tiny, low profile 3x3mm 8-lead MCLP
DC Bias pads 7,8. Pad 7 connected to ground via 1000 pF. Pad 8 connected to pad 7 via 33 ohms.
Not Connected, connect pad 3 and 4 to ground externally
