MSA-0986 Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features The MSA-0986 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a low cost, surface mount plastic package. This MMIC is designed for very wide bandwidth industrial and commercial applications that require flat gain and low VSWR. • Broadband, Minimum Ripple Cascadable 50Ω Gain Block The MSA-series is fabricated using Avago’s 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX, 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. 86 Plastic Package • 7.2 ± 0.5 dB Typical Gain Flatness from 0.1 to 3.0 GHz • 3 dB Bandwidth: 0.1 to 5.5 GHz • 10.5 dBm Typical P1 dB at 2.0 GHz • Surface Mount Plastic Package • Tape-and-Reel Packaging Option Available • Lead-free Option Available Typical Biasing Configuration R bias VCC > 12 V RFC (Optional) 4 C block C block 3 IN 1 OUT MSA 2 Vd = 7.8 V 2 MSA-0986 Absolute Maximum Ratings Absolute Maximum[1] 65 mA 500 mW +13 dBm 150°C –65 to +150°C Parameter Device Current Power Dissipation[2,3] RF Input Power Junction Temperature Storage Temperature Thermal Resistance[2]: θjc = 140°C/W Notes: 1.
