MAALSS0043

High Dynamic Range Low Noise Amplifier 800 - 1000 MHz Features Low Noise Figure: 1.2 dB High Input IP3: +18 dBm at 8 V, 60 mA bias +6.5 dBm at 3 V, 20 mA bias High Gain: 16 dB Single Supply: +3 to +8 VDC Adjustable current: 20 to 80 mA with external resistor Lead-Free SOIC-8 Package 100% Matte Tin Plating over Copper Halogen-Free “Green” Mold Compound 260°C Reflow Compatible RoHS* Compliant Version of AM50-0003 Description M/A-COM’s MAALSS0043 is a high dynamic range, GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a lead-free SOIC-8, surface mount plastic package. It employs external input matching to obtain optimum noise figure performance and operating frequency flexibility. The MAALSS0043 also features flexible biasing to control the current consumption vs. dynamic range trade-off. The MAALSS0043 can operate from any supply voltage in the 3 V to 8 V range. Its current can be controlled over a range of 20 mA to 80 mA with an external resistor. The MAALSS0043 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 AMPS, GSM, and ETACS base stations. It is also useful as a gain block, buffer, driver, and IF amplifier in both fixed and portable cellular and 900 MHz ISM systems. The MAALSS0043 is fabricated using a low-cost 0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The process features full passivation for increased performance reliability. RoHS Compliant MAA...
