MSA-0636
Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifiers
Data Sheet
Description
The MSA-0636 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 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.
