Description
M/A-COM’s MAAM-007724 is a GaAs PHEMT
MMIC amplifier in a lead-free 4 mm 20-lead PQFN
package. The MMIC design is configured as a pair
of cascode PHEMT amplifiers for broadband
performance. It is designed for integration in a
75-ohm push-pull, low distortion, amplifier circuit.
The device is ideally suited for use in CATV, DBS,
and HDTV applications where low noise figure and
low distortion are required.
