MSA-0736-BLK

Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifiers Technical Data MSA-0735, -0736 Features • Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block • Low Operating Voltage: 4.0 V Typical Vd • 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 2.4 GHz • 13.0 dB Typical Gain at 1.0 GHz • Unconditionally Stable (k>1) • Cost Effective Ceramic Microstrip Package microstrip 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 industrial and military applications. 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. 35 micro-X Package[1] Note: 1. Short leaded 36 package available upon request.

Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. 2. TCASE = 25°C. 3. Derate at 6.5 mW/°C for TC > 157°C. 4. Storage above +150°C may tarnish the leads of this package making it difficult to solder into a circuit. 5. Ths small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though more accurate determination of θjc than do alternate methods. See MEASUREMENTS section “Thermal Resistance” for more information.
