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 ohm 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.
