Description

M/A-COM’s MAALSS0034 broadband gain stage is

a GaAs MMIC amplifier in a lead-free SOT-89

surface mount plastic package. It can be operated

from a single 3 to 5 volt supply.

The MAALSS0034 employs a monolithic single-

stage self-biased design featuring a convenient 50-

ohm input impedance that minimizes the number of

external components required.

The broadband

design provides low noise figure and high IP3 from

70 to 3000 MHz.

M/A-COM fabricates the MAALSS0034 using an

E/D MESFET process to realize low noise and high

dynamic

range.

The

process

features

full

passivation for performance and reliability.
