RoHS Compliant MAAP-000068-PKG003 Amplifier, Power, 1.2W 5.7-8.5 GHz Rev — Advance Datasheet Features ♦ 1.2 Watt Saturated Output Power Level ♦ Variable Drain Voltage (4-10V) Operation ™ ♦ MSAG Process Description The MAAP-000068-PKG003 is a 3-stage 1.2 W power amplifier with on-chip bias networks in a 20 lead, 5 mm PQFN package, allowing easy assembly. This product is fully matched to 50 ohms on both the input and output. It can be used as a power amplifier stage or as a driver stage in high power applications. Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure performance compliance. The part is fabricated using M/A-COM’s GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate (MSAG) Process. The 5 mm PQFN package has a lead-free lead finish that is RoHS compliant and compatible with a 260oC reflow temperature. The package also features low lead inductance and an excellent thermal path. The MTTF is 1,000,000 hours at 170oC. Primary Applications ♦ Point-to-Point Radio ◊ 6, 7, and 8 GHz Bands ♦ SatCom ♦ Broadband Wireless Access Electrical Characteristics: TC = 35°C1, Z0 = 50 Ω, VDD = 8V, IDQ = 320mA2, Pin = 8dBm, RG = 60Ω Parameter 1. 2.
