MSA-0470
Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The MSA-0470 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 metal-
lization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temper-
ature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
