MSA-0236

Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier

Data Sheet

The MSA-0236 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit MMIC housed in a cost effective, microstrip package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in industrial and military applications.
• Cascadable 50 Gain Block
• 3 dB Bandwidth DC to GHz
• dB Typical Gain at GHz
• Unconditionally Stable k>1
• Cost Effective Ceramic Microstrip Package

The MSA-series is fabricated using Avago’s 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
