Description
The MAAL-011119 is a broadband gain block GaAs
MMIC amplifier assembled in a lead-free SC70-6LD
(SOT-363) surface mount plastic package. The
topology is a monolithic single stage self-biased
design featuring a convenient 50 Ω input/output
impedance that minimizes the number of external
components.
The MAAL-01119 is fabricated on MACOM’s pHEMT
process to help realize the complementary high IP3
and low noise figure. This process features full
passivation for performance and reliability.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these HBM class 1A
devices.
5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
7. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
8. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * (V * I)
Typical thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 131°C/W
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 58°C @ 2.5 V, 100 mA
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ = 118°C @ 2.5 V, 100 mA
