0.1 - 3.5 GHz
Features
Single Voltage Supply 3 V ~ 5 V
Integrated Active Bias Circuit
Adjustable Current with an External Resistor
Low Noise Figure
High Linearity OIP3, 34 dBm @ 2 GHz
Broadband Match
Integrated ESD Protection
RoHS* Compliant and 260°C Reflow Compatible
Description
The MAAL-010704 is a high dynamic range single
stage MMIC LNA with excellent linearity and low
noise figure designed for operation from 0.1 to 3.5
GHz. The LNA is packaged in an RoHS compliant
SOT-363 package and requires no external
matching components.
This MMIC has an integrated active bias circuit
allowing direct connection to 3 V supply and
minimizing variation over temperature and process.
The bias current can be set with an external resistor
to allow the user to customize the current value to fit
the application.
The MAAL-010704 offers less than 1 dB noise figure
and 34 dBm OIP3 at 2 GHz. The broadband match
and single supply operation makes this LNA easy to
use and simplifies its implementation while
maintaining excellent performance. The low thermal
resistance and integrated ESD protection
significantly enhances the quality, reliability and
ruggedness of this product.

9. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
10. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
11. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN)).
12. VBIAS can be connected separate of VDD to control the drain
current. When VBIAS is connected directly either a resistor is
used to drop the voltage down from 3 V, or if the exact bias
voltage (~2 V) is applied, then an inductor L3 can be used.
