Description
M/A-COM’s AM42-0055 is a two stage MMIC power
amplifier in a bolt down ceramic package, allowing easy
assembly. The AM42-0055 employs a fully matched chip
with internally decoupled gate and grain bias networks.
The AM42-0055 is designed to operate from a constant
current drain supply or a constant voltage gate supply. By
varying the bias conditions, the saturated output power
performance of this device may be tailored for various
applications. The AM42-0055 is ideally suited for use as
an output stage in telemetry systems. The AM42-0055
includes internal supply line bypassing in the package,
minimizing the number of external components required.
M/A-COM’s AM42-0055 is fabricated using a mature 0.5-
micron MBE based GaAs MESFET process. The process
features full passivation for increased performance and
reliability. This product is 100% RF tested to ensure
compliance to performance specifications.
