MSA-0670

MSA-0670 Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features The MSA-0670 is a high performance silicon bipolar • Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed • Low Operating Voltage: in a hermetic, high reliability package. This MMIC is 3.5 V Typical Vd designed for use as a general purpose 50Ω gain block. 3 dB Bandwidth: Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF • DC to 1.0 GHz and RF amplifiers in industrial and military applications. • High Gain: The MSA-series is fabricated using Avago’s 10 GHz 19.5 dB Typical at 0.5 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and • Low Noise Figure: 2.8 dB Typical at 0.5 GHz gold metallization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias • Hermetic Gold-ceramic Microstrip Package resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility. 70 mil Package Typical Biasing Configuration R bias VCC > 5 V RFC (Optional) C block IN 1 4 3 MSA C block OUT Vd = 3.5 V 2 MSA-0670 Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Device Current Power Dissipation[,3] RF Input Power Junction Temperature Storage Temperature Absolute Maximum[1] 50 mA 00 mW +13 dBm 00°C –65 to 00°C Thermal Resistance[2,4]: θjc = 130°C/W Notes: 1. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. 2. TCASE = 25°C. 3. Derate at 7.7 mW/°C for TC > 174°C. 4. The small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though more accurate determination of θjc than do alternate methods.
