N/C
The MAAM-009320 is a variable gain amplifier with
26.5 dB of gain control at 2.14 GHz. It has good
input IP3 performance over the full attenuation
range. External matching components are used to
set the center frequency and achieve the return loss
performance. The analog control is accomplished
through a single control pin of 0 to +3V.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide 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
class 1A devices.
8. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
9. M/A-COM Technology Solutions does not recommend
sustained operation near these survivability limits.
10.Junction Temperature (TJ) = TA + Өjc * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN))
11.Stage 1 typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 106.5° C/W
12.Stage 3 typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 68.6° C/W
