Description

M/A-COM’s MAALSS0045 is a high dynamic range,

GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a lead-free 3 mm

12-lead PQFN package.

It employs external

matching to obtain optimum noise figure and

intercept

performance.

The

MAALSS0045

is

operated with a supply voltage of +5V.

The MAALSS0045 is ideally suited for use where

low noise figure, high gain, and high dynamic range

are required. Typical applications included receiver

front ends in TDMA, CDMA, and DCS base stations.

It may also be used as an IF amplifier in certain

other communication systems.

The MAALSS0045 is fabricated using a low-cost

0.5-micron gate E-D SAGFET GaAs process. This

process features full passivation for increased

reliability. The MAALSS0045 is 100% RF tested to

ensure performance specification compliance.
