MSA-0505 Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features The MSA-0505 is a high performance medium power silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a low cost, surface mount package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial systems. • Cascadable 50 Ω 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. 05 Plastic Package • High Output Power: 18.0 dBm Typical P1 dB at 1.0 GHz • Low Distortion: 29.0 dBm Typical IP3 at 1.0 GHz • 7.0 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 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 IN C block 3 1 OUT MSA 2 Vd = 8.4 V MSA-0505 Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Absolute Maximum[1] Device Current 135 mA [2,3] Power Dissipation 1.5 W RF Input Power +25 dBm Junction Temperature200°C Storage Temperature –65 to 150°C Thermal Resistance[2]: θjc = 85°C/W Notes: 1.
