MSA-0736
Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
The MSA-0736 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.
Features
• Cascadable 50Ω Gain Block
• Low Operating Voltage: 4.0 V Typical V_d
• 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 2.4 GHz
• 13.0 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz
• Unconditionally Stable (k>1)
• Cost Effective Ceramic Microstrip Package
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.
