Broadband IF Driver Amplifier 50 - 2500 MHz Features • • • • • • • MAAMSS0017 V4 Functional Schematic Low Cost Plastic SOT-89 Package Broadband Operation +38.5 dBm Output Intercept Point @ 250 MHz +19 dBm Output P1dB High Efficiency 50 Ω Input / Output Match 18 dB Typical Gain Description M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0017 driver amplifier is a GaAs MMIC which exhibits high OIP3 as well as high gain and low power consumption in a low-cost SOT-89 surface mount plastic package. The MAAMSS0017 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 MAAMSS0017 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.

Maximum Operating Conditions 2 Parameter Maximum Operating Conditions Junction Temperature 125°C RF Input Power 14 dBm Parameter Absolute Maximum RF Input Power 5 15 dBm Voltage Junction Temperature 6 Volts 6 +150°C Operating Temperature -40 °C to +85 °C Storage Temperature -65 °C to +150 °C 3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 4. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. 5. The MAAMSS0017 is designed to operate optimally at 10 dB backed off from its output P1dB. Driving the device at higher power levels could degrade performance. 6. Thermal Resistance = 110°C/W. 2. Operating at or within these conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours. 1 M/A-COM Inc. and its affiliates reserve the right to make changes to the product(s) or information contained herein without notice.
