MSA-0270

MSA-0270 Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Data Sheet Description The MSA-0270 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a hermetic, high reliability package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in industrial and military applications. 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. Features • Cascadable 50Ω Gain Block • 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 2.8 GHz • 12.0 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz • Unconditionally Stable (k>1) • Hermetic Gold-ceramic Microstrip Package 70 mil Package Typical Biasing Configuration Rbias VCC > 7 V RFC (Optional) Cblock IN 1 4 3 MSA Cblock OUT Vd = 5 V 2 MSA-0270 Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Device Current Power Dissipation[,3] RF Input Power Junction Temperature Storage Temperature Absolute Maximum[1] 60 mA 35 mW +13 dBm 00°C –65 to 00°C Thermal Resistance[2,4]: θjc = 10°C/W Notes: 1. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. 2. TCASE = 25°C. 3. Derate at 8.3 mW/°C for TC > 161°C. 4. The small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though more accurate determination of θjc than do alternate methods.
