Description
The
MAAP-000038-PKG003
is a packaged, 3-stage, 1.2 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.
Fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable, high performance and
highly reliable GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate MESFET
Process, each device is 100% RF tested on wafer to ensure
performance compliance.
M/A-COM’s

process
manufacturing processes, planar processing of ion implanted
transistors, multiple implant capability enabling power, low-
noise, switch and digital FETs on a single chip, and polyimide

protection
for
ease
manufacturing processes. The use of refractory metals and the
absence of platinum in the gate metal formulation prevents
hydrogen poisoning when employed in hermetic packaging.
