Description
The MA01503D is a balanced 3-stage low noise amplifier
with on-chip, receiver protecting 10 Watt limiter. This
product is fully matched to 50 ohms on both the input and
output.
Each device is 100% RF tested on wafer to ensure
performance compliance. The part is fabricated using M/A-
COM’s repeatable, high performance and highly reliable GaAs
Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate (MSAG^®) MESFET Process.
This process features silicon oxi-nitride passivation and poly-
imide scratch protection.
Electrical Characteristics: T_B = 25°C¹, Z₀ = 50Ω, V_DD = 5V, V_GG = -5V
