Description
The MSA-0370 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 implanta-
tion, 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.
