Description
The MSA-1110 is a high perfor-
mance silicon bipolar Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) housed in a hermetic high
reliability package. This MMIC is
designed for high dynamic range
in either 50 or 75 Ω systems by
combining low noise figure with
high IP3. Typical applications
include narrow and broadband
linear amplifiers in industrial and
military systems.
100 mil Package
The MSA-series is fabricated using
Agilent’s 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX
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.
