Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifiers
Data Sheet
Description
The MSA-0436 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.
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 met-
allization to achieve excellent performance, unifor-
mity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor
for temperature and current stability also allows bias
flexibility.
