The MAALSS0042 employs a monolithic 3-stage selfbias design and a simple external matching network to obtain minimum noise figure. Pin Configuration 1,2,3 Pin No. Pin Name Description The MAALSS0042 is ideally suited for use where low noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range and low power consumption are required. Typical applications include receiver front ends in the Global Positioning System (GPS) market, as well as standard gain blocks, buffer amps, driver amps, and IF amps in both fixed and portable systems. 1 GND Ground 2 RF IN RF Input 3 GND Ground 4 GND Ground 5 GND Ground 6 RF OUT RF Output, VDD M/A-COM’S MAALSS0042 is fabricated using a mature 0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The process features full passivation for increased performance reliability. 7 GND Ground 8 GND Ground Ordering Information 1. Pins 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 must be RF and DC grounded (see Recommended PCB Configuration). 2. Pin 2 is the RF input and must be connected to the simple matching network shown in the Application Schematic. 3. Pin 6 is the RF output. VDD is also applied on Pin 6.
