MSA-0505

Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier Technical Data MSA-0505 Features • Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block • High Output Power: 18.0 dBm Typical P1 dB at 1.0 GHz • Low Distortion: 29.0 dBm Typical IP3 at 1.0 GHz • 7.0 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz • Surface Mount Plastic Package • Tape-and-Reel Packaging Option Available[1] Note: 1. Refer to PACKAGING section “Tape-and-Reel Packaging for Semiconductor Devices.” Description The MSA-0505 is a high performance medium power silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a low cost, surface mount package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial systems. The MSA-series is fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz f MAX, 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. 05 Plastic Package Typical Biasing Configuration R bias VCC > 12 V RFC (Optional) 4 C block 3 IN 1 MSA C block OUT Vd = 8.4 V 2 5965-9581E 6-354 MSA-0505 Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Device Current Power Dissipation[2,3] RF Input Power Junction Temperature Storage Temperature Absolute Maximum[1] 135 mA 1.5 W +25 dBm 200°C –65 to 150°C Thermal Resistance[2,4]: θjc = 85°C/W Notes: 1.
