MSA-0286 Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features The MSA-0286 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 use as a general purpose 50Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications. • 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. • Lead-free Option Available 86 Plastic Package Typical Biasing Configuration • 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 2.5 GHz • 12.0 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz • Unconditionally Stable (k>1) • Surface Mount Plastic Package • Tape-and-Reel Packaging Option Available R bias VCC > 7 V RFC (Optional) 4 C block C block 3 IN 1 OUT MSA 2 Vd = 5 V 2 MSA-0286 Absolute Maximum Ratings Absolute Maximum[1] Parameter Device Current Power Dissipation[2,3] RF Input Power Junction Temperature Storage Temperature 60 mA 325 mW +13 dBm 150°C –65 to 150°C Thermal Resistance[2]: θjc = 105°C/W Notes: 1.
