Description
The MSA-0885 is a high perfor-
mance 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 above
0.5␣ GHz and can be used as a high
gain transistor below this fre-
quency. Typical applications
include narrow and moderate band
IF and RF amplifiers in commer-
cial and industrial applications.
85 Plastic 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 perfor-
mance, uniformity and reliability.
The use of an external bias resistor
for temperature and current
stability also allows bias flexibility.
