MSA0104

Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC␣ Amplifier Technical Data www.DataSheet4U.com MSA-0104 Features Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 0.8 GHz High Gain: 17.0 dB Typical at 0.5 GHz Unconditionally Stable (k>1) Low Cost Plastic Package designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and wide bandwidth IF and RF amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications. The MSA-series is fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT, 25␣ GHz f MAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility. 04A Plastic Package Description The MSA-0104 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a low cost plastic package.
