Description
M/A-COM’s MAALSS0044 is a high performance
GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier in a lead-free
SOIC-8 surface mount package. The MAALSS0044
employs a fully monolithic design which eliminates
the need for external tuning networks. It can be
biased using 3- or 5-volt supplies and has an option
for biasing at higher currents for increased dynamic
range.

Pin Configuration
The MAALSS0044 is ideally suited for use where
low noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range and
low power consumption are required. Typical
applications include receiver front ends in the Global
Positioning System (GPS) and Japanese Personal
Digital Cellular (PDC-1500) markets, as well as
standard gain blocks, buffer amps, driver amps and
IF amps in both fixed and portable systems.
M/A-COM’s MAALSS0044 is fabricated using a
mature 0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The
process features full passivation for increased
performance reliability.
