MSA-0311
Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
The MSA-0311 is a low cost silicon bipolar Monolithic Mi‑
crowave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in the surface
mount plastic SOT‑143 package. This MMIC is designed
for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical ap‑
plications include narrow and broad band IF and RF am‑
plifiers 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 ni‑
tride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metalli‑
zation to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temper‑
ature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
