Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The MSA-0870 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
above 0.5 GHz and can be used as a high gain transistor
below this frequency. Typical applications include ­narrow
and moderate band IF and RF amplifiers in industrial and
military applications.
• Usable Gain to 6.0 GHz
• High Gain:
32.5 dB Typical at 0.1 GHz
23.5 dB Typical at 1.0 GHz
• Low Noise Figure:
3.0 dB Typical at 1.0 GHz
• Hermetic Gold-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 ­ metallization to achieve excellent performance,
­uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias
resistor for temperature and current stability also ­allows
bias flexibility.
