Description
The MAAM-007524-DIE000 is a 3-stage driver amplifier with on-chip
bias networks for cellular and VSAT applications. The input and output
ports are matched to 50 ohms and are DC blocked. The MMIC can be
used as a broadband amplifier stage or as a driver stage in high power
applications.
Fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable, high performance and highly
reliable GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate (MSAG) Process, each
device is 100% RF tested on wafer to ensure performance compliance.
M/A-COM’s MSAG process features robust silicon-like manufacturing
processes, planar processing of ion implanted transistors, multiple im-
plant capability enabling power, low-noise, switch and digital FETs on a
single chip, and polyimide scratch protection for ease of use with auto-
mated manufacturing processes. The use of refractory metals and the
absence of platinum in the gate metal formulation prevents hydrogen
poisoning when employed in hermetic packaging.
