Hewlett-Packard MSA-0420
The MSA-0420 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a hermetic, high reliability 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, ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability.| Part No. | MSA-0420 |

FEATURES
● Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block● 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 4.0 GHz
DESCRIPTION
Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in industrial and military applications. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility. 200 mil BeO Package● 8.5 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Parameter Device Current Power Dissipation[2,3] RF Input Power Junction Temperature Storage Temperature Absolute Maximum[1] 120 mA 850 mW +13 dBm 200°C –65 to 200°C Thermal Resistance[2,4]: θjc = 40°C/W Notes: 1. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. 2. TCASE = 25°C. 3. Derate at 25 mW/°C for TC > 166°C. 4. The small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though more accurate determination of qjc than do alternate methods.
