The MAAMSS0046 employs a monolithic single stage design featuring a convenient 50 Ω input / output impedance that minimizes the number of external components required. The device runs off a single +5 volt supply and draws 70 mA typically. The MAAMSS0046 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s iHBT process to realize low current and high power functionality. The process features full passivation for increased performance and reliability.
