Description
The MSA-0504 is a high perfor-
mance medium power silicon
bipolar Monolithic Microwave
Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed
in a low cost plastic 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 commercial systems.
The MSA-series is fabricated using
HP’s 10 GHz f_T, 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.
