Hewlett-Packard MSA-0286
The MSA-0286 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a low cost, surface mount plastic package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. The MSA-series is fabricated using Agilent’s 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, 86 Plastic Package ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability.FEATURES
● Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block● 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 2.5 GHz
● 12.0 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz
● Unconditionally Stable (k>1)
● Surface Mount Plastic Package
● Tape-and-Reel Packaging Option Available[1] Note: 1. Refer to PACKAGING section “Tapeand-Reel Packaging for Surface Mount Semiconductors”.
DESCRIPTION
Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
