Hewlett-Packard MSA-0100
The MSA-0100 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) chip. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. This chip contains additional biasing options.FEATURES
● Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block● 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 1.3 GHz
● High Gain: 18.5 dB Typical at 0.5 GHz
● Unconditionally Stable (k>1) 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. The recommended assembly procedure is gold-eutectic die attach at 400°C and either wedge or ball bonding using 0.7 mil gold wire.[1] See
