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.
