Description
The MAAP-000071-PKG0003 is a 4-stage 1.6 W power amplifier with on-chip bias networks in a 20 lead MLP package, allowing easy assembly. This product is fully matched to 50 ohms on both the input and output. It can be used as a power amplifier stage or as a driver stage in high power applications.
Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure performance compliance. The part is fabricated using M/A-COM’s GaAs Multifunction SelfAligned Gate (MSAG) Process.
M/A-COM’s MSAG™ process features robust silicon-like manufacturing processes, planar processing of ion implanted transistors and multiple implant capability enabling power, low-noise, switch and digital FETs on a single chip. The use of refractory metals and the absence of platinum in the gate metal formulation prevents hydrogen poisoning when employed in hermetic packaging.
