Description
The MAAL-011136 is an RF amplifier assembled in
a SOT-89 plastic package. This amplifier provides
20 dB of flat gain while biased from 3 to 5 volts. The
amplifier provides excellent noise figure.
The MAAL-011136 provides high gain, low noise
and low distortion making it ideally suited as input
stage for fiber-to-the-home (FTTh) applications and
other 75 Ω infrastructure applications.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Integrated Circuits are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge (ESD) and can be damaged by static
electricity. Proper ESD control techniques should
be used when handling these HBM Class 1A.
3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
4. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
5. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
6. Junction Temperature (TJ) = Case Temperature (TC) + Өjc*(V*I)
Typical thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 67°C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 42°C @ 5 V, 53 mA
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ = 103°C @ 5 V, 53 mA
