Hewlett-Packard MSA-0711
The MSA-0711 is a low cost silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in the surface mount plastic SOT-143 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 metalli- SOT-143 Package zation to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability.FEATURES
● Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block● 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 1.9 GHz
● 12.0 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz
● Unconditionally Stable (k>1)
● Low Cost 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. Typical Biasing Configuration R bias VCC > 5 V RFC (Optional) C block IN MSA C block OUT Vd = 3.8 V 2 MSA-0711ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
