High Output IP3 Driver Amplifier 1700 - 2500 MHz Features • • • • MAAMSS0007 V4 Functional Block Diagram 42 dBm Output IP3 24 dBm P1dB Chip Scale Leadless Package Single Positive Supply Voltage NC NC NC RF Input Description M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0007 RF driver amplifier is a GaAs MMIC which exhibits high OIP3 as well as high gain and low power consumption in a low-cost 3 mm PQFN surface mount plastic package. The MAAMSS0007 employs a monolithic single stage design featuring a convenient 50-ohm input/ output impedance that minimizes the number of external components required. The device runs off a single +5 volt supply and draws 100 mA typically. The design provides excellent performance from 1700 to 2500 MHz. The MAAMSS0007 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.
