RoHS Compliant MAAP-000064-PKG003 Amplifier, Power, 2W 6.5-9.5 GHz Rev Advance Information Features ♦ 2 Watt Saturated Output Power Level ♦ Variable Drain Voltage (6-10V) Operation ♦ MSAG™ Process Description YYWW AP064G XXX MACOM The MAAP-000064-PKG003 is a 2-stage 2.0 W power amplifier with on-chip bias networks in a 5mm, 20 lead PQFN package, allowing easy assembly. This product is fully matched to 50 ohms on both the input and output. It can be used as a power amplifier stage or as a driver stage in high power applications. Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure performance compliance. The part is fabricated using M/A-COM’s GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate (MSAG) Process. The 5 mm PQFN package has a lead-free lead finish that is RoHS compliant and compatible with a 260oC reflow temperature. The package also features low lead inductance and an excellent thermal path. The MTTF is 1,000,000 hours at 170oC.
