MSA-0311 Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features The MSA-0311 is a low cost silicon bipolar Monolithic Mi‑ crowave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in the surface mount plastic SOT‑143 package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical ap‑ plications include narrow and broad band IF and RF am‑ plifiers in commercial and industrial applications. • Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block The MSA-series is fabricated using Avago’s 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses ni‑ tride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metalli‑ zation to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temper‑ ature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
