Description
M/A-COM’s MAALSS0038 broadband gain stage is
a GaAs MMIC amplifier in a lead-free SOT-363
surface mount plastic package. The MAALSS0038
employs a monolithic 1-stage self-biased design
featuring a convenient 50 Ω input/output impedance
that minimizes the number of external components
required. The device typically runs from a single 3.0
volt supply and may also operate at any voltage up
to 5.0 volts for improved power performance. Its
broadband design provides usable performance
from 70 to 3000 MHz. To show off-chip tuning
requirements from 70 to 210 MHz, IF application
circuitry is available on page 6.
M/A-COM fabricates the MAALSS0038 using an
E/D MESFET process to realize low noise and high
dynamic range. The process features full
passivation for performance and reliability.
