Description
M/A-COM’s MAALSS0013 LNA is a GaAs MMIC low
noise amplifier in a low-cost SOT-26 surface mount
plastic package. The MAALSS0013 employs a
monolithic 2-stage design featuring a convenient
50-ohm input/output impedance that minimizes the
number of external components required. The
device typically runs off a single 3 volt to 5 volt
supply and has an off chip resistor that can be used
to improve the linearity performance. The design
provides excellent performance from 2.2 to 2.4 GHz.
The MAALSS0013 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s
E/D process to realize low noise and high dynamic
range. The process features full passivation for
increased performance and reliability.
