Description
The MSA-0270 is a high perfor-
mance silicon bipolar Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) housed in a hermetic,
high reliability package. This
MMIC is designed for use as a
general purpose 50 Ω gain block.
Typical applications include
narrow and broad band IF and RF
amplifiers in industrial and
military applications.
70 mil Package
The MSA-series is fabricated using
HP’s 10 GHz fT, 25␣ GHz f MAX,
silicon bipolar MMIC process
which uses nitride self-alignment,
ion implantation, and gold metalli-
zation to achieve excellent
performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external
bias resistor for temperature and
current stability also allows bias
flexibility.
