FEATURES
● Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block● High Output Power: +23 dBm Typical P1 dB at 1.0␣ GHz
● Low Distortion: 33␣ dBm Typical IP 3 at 1.0␣ GHz
● 8.5 dB Typical Gain at 1.0␣ GHz 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. This chip is intended to be used with an external blocking capacitor completing the shunt feedback path (closed loop). Data sheet characterization is given for a Chip Outline[1] 3 5 2 1 2 Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in industrial and military systems. 4 45␣ pF capacitor. Low frequency performance can be extended by using a larger valued capacitor.[1] Note: 1.
