MAALSS0034 Miniature Broadband Gain Stage 70 - 3000 MHz Features • • • • • • • Rev. V2 Functional Block Diagram Low Noise Figure High IP3 Single +3 V to +5 V Supply Voltage Lead-Free SOT-89 Package 100% Matte Tin Plating over Copper Halogen-Free “Green” Mold Compound RoHS* Compliant and 260°C Re-flow Compatible Description M/A-COM’s MAALSS0034 broadband gain stage is a GaAs MMIC amplifier in a lead-free SOT-89 surface mount plastic package. It can be operated from a single 3 to 5 volt supply. The MAALSS0034 employs a monolithic singlestage self-biased design featuring a convenient 50ohm input impedance that minimizes the number of external components required. The broadband design provides low noise figure and high IP3 from 70 to 3000 MHz. M/A-COM fabricates the MAALSS0034 using an E/D MESFET process to realize low noise and high dynamic range. The process features full passivation for performance and reliability.
