Description
M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0060 CATV amplifier is a
GaAs MMIC which exhibits low distortion in a lead
free miniature surface mount plastic package. The
MAAMSS0060 employs a monolithic single stage
design featuring a convenient 75 Ω input/output
impedance that minimizes the number of external
components required.
Pin 1
The MAAMSS0060 provides low noise and high
linearity. It is ideally suited for set top boxes, home
gateways, FTTX, Drop Amplifiers, and other
broadband internet based applications.

1. Reference Application Note M513 for reel size information.
2. All sample boards include 5 loose parts.
3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
4. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
5. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
6. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * (V * I)
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 58° C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 81°C @ 8 V, 120 mA
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ = 136 °C @ 8 V, 110 mA
