Description
The MAAL-010528 is a high performance X-band
GaAs LNA, housed in a miniature, lead-free 3 mm
PQFN surface mount plastic package. This MMIC
operates from 8 to 12 GHz providing a nominal gain
of 20 dB with excellent gain flatness, high OIP3
linearity of 26 dBm, and a mid-band noise figure of
1.6 dB. The part features a self-bias architecture
which requires only a single, positive supply. The
device is internally matched to 50 Ω input/ output
and is well suited to multiple applications including
Vsat, radar and microwave radios due to the part’s
ease of use and excellent performance parameters.

3. For self-bias, external components C7 through C12 are
optional. No V_G bias is needed. If C7 through C12 are
removed, traces must also be removed.
4. For optional adjustment of self-bias, apply D.C. gate voltage
between –1 V and +0.3 V. External components C7 through
C12 are required.
5. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be
connected to RF and DC ground.
