RoHS Compliant High Dynamic Range LNA 800 - 1000 MHz MAALSS0040 V1 Features • • • • • • • • Functional Block Diagram Ideal for Base Station Applications High Gain: 17 dB @ 900 MHz Low Noise Figure: <1.0 dB @ 900 MHz Lead-Free SOT-26 Package 100% Matte Tin Plating over Copper Halogen-Free “Green” Mold Compound 260°C Reflow Compatible RoHS* Compliant Version of AM50-0011 Description M/A-COM’s MAALSS0040 is a high dynamic range, GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a lead-free SOT-26 package. It employs external matching to obtain optimum noise figure and intercept performance. The MAALSS0040 may be operated with supply voltages of +5 V. The MAALSS0040 is ideally suited for use where low noise figure, high gain, and high dynamic range are required. Typical applications included receiver front ends in AMPS, GSM and ETACS base stations. It may also be used as an IF amplifier in certain other communication systems. The MAALSS0040 is fabricated using a low-cost 0.5-micron gate E-D GaAs process. This process features full passivation for increased reliability.
