Description
M/A-COM’s SA65-0003 is an integrated assembly contain-
ing a GaAs FET MMIC LNA and GaAs FET mixer. This
device is packaged in a 16-leaded QSOP plastic surface
mount package. The amplifier can be biased with either
+3V or +5V, the mixer requires no DC bias. The conversion
gain of the integrated combination is typically 6 dB at +3V
bias and 8 dB at +5V bias. The SA65-0003 is ideally
suited for RF/IF communications applications requiring
down conversion with some gain.
This MCM contains a mixer that is fabricated using a
mature 1-micron GaAs process, it also contains an LNA
that is fabricated using a low cost mature 0.5-micron gate
length GaAs MESFET process. Both die feature full
passivation for increased performance and reliability.
