MSA-0486-BLKG

MSA-0486 Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features The MSA-0486 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  gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications.  Lead-free Option Available The MSA-series is fabricated using Avago’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. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.  Unconditionally Stable (k>1) 86 Plastic Package Typical Biasing Configuration Rbias VCC t7 V RFC (Optional) 4 Cblock IN 1 MSA 2 Cblock 3 OUT Vd = 5.25 V  Cascadable 50  Gain Block  3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 3.2 GHz  8 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz  12.5 dBm Typical P1 dB at 1.0 GHz  Surface Mount Plastic Package  Tape-and-Reel Packaging Option Available MSA-0486 Absolute Maximum Ratings Thermal Resistance [2, 4]: jc = 100°C/W Absolute Maximum [1] Parameter Device Current 85 mA Power Dissipation [2, 3] 500 mW RF Input Power +13 dBm Junction Temperature 150° C Storage Temperature -65 to 150° C Notes: 1.
