Description
The
MAAPGM0038
is a packaged, 3-stage, 1.2 W power
amplifier with on-chip bias networks in a bolt down ceramic
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 MSAG process features robust silicon-like
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 scratch protection for ease of use with
automated 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.
