MSA-0286
Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
The MSA-0286 is a high performance silicon bipolar
Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC)
housed in a low cost, surface mount plastic 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 commercial and
industrial applications.
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.
