It employs external matching to obtain optimum noise figure and intercept performance. The MAALSS0045 is operated with a supply voltage of +5V. The MAALSS0045 is ideally suited for use where low noise figure, high gain, and high dynamic range are required. Typical applications included receiver front ends in TDMA, CDMA, and DCS base stations. It may also be used as an IF amplifier in certain other communication systems. The MAALSS0045 is fabricated using a low-cost 0.5-micron gate E-D SAGFET GaAs process. This process features full passivation for increased reliability. The MAALSS0045 is 100% RF tested to ensure performance specification compliance.
