RoHS Compliant MAAP-000072-PKG003 Amplifier, Power, 1.3W 17.7-19.7 GHz Rev — Advance Information Features ♦ 1.3 Watt Saturated Output Power Level ♦ Variable Drain Voltage (4-10V) Operation ♦ MSAG™ Process YYWW AP072G XXXX MACOM Description The MAAP-000072-PKG0003 is a 4-stage 1.3 W power amplifier with on-chip bias networks in a 20 lead MLP 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. M/A-COM’s MSAG™ process features robust silicon-like manufacturing processes, planar processing of ion implanted transistors and multiple implant capability enabling power, low-noise, switch and digital FETs on a single chip. The use of refractory metals and the absence of platinum in the gate metal formulation prevents hydrogen poisoning when employed in hermetic packaging.
