MSA-0236
Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
The MSA-0236 is a high performance silicon bipolar
Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed
in a cost effective, microstrip package. This MMIC is
designed for use as a general purpose 50Ω gain block.
Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF
and RF amplifiers in industrial and military applications.
Features
• Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block
• 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 2.7 GHz
• 12.0 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz
• Unconditionally Stable (k>1)
• Cost Effective Ceramic Microstrip Package
The MSA-series is fabricated using Avago’s 10 GHz f_T,
25 GHz f_MAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses
nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold
metallization to achieve excellent performance,
uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias
resistor for temperature and current stability also allows
bias flexibility.
