Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC␣ Amplifier Technical Data
MSA-0185
Features
• Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block • 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 1.0 GHz • High Gain: 17.5 dB Typical at 0.5 GHz • Unconditionally Stable (k>1) • Low Cost Plastic Package
designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in industrial and military applications. 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 performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
