Description
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.
Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial, industrial and military applications.
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 flexibilit.
