MSA-0420
Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The MSA-0420 is a high performance silicon bipolar
Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed
in a hermetic, high reliability 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.
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.
