Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC␣ Amplifier Technical Data MSA-0611 Features Description • Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block The MSA-0611 is a low cost silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave 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 applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications. • 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 0.7 GHz • High Gain: 18.0 dB Typical at 0.5␣ GHz • Low Noise Figure: 3.0 dB Typical at 0.5␣ GHz • Low Cost Surface Mount Plastic Package • Tape-and-Reel Packaging Option Available[1] Note: 1. Refer to PACKAGING section “Tapeand-Reel Packaging for Semiconductor Devices”. The MSA-series is fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT, 25␣ GHz f MAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent Typical Biasing Configuration R bias VCC > 5 V RFC (Optional) C block IN C block OUT MSA Vd = 3.3 V 5965-9584E 6-366 SOT-143 Package performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
