MSA-0100 - Hewlett-Packard

MSA-0100 Cascadable Silicon Bipolar MMIC Amplifier

The MSA-0100 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) chip. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial, industrial and military applications. Typical Biasing Configuration R bias VCC > 7 V Note: 1. This .

Features

• Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block
• 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 1.3 GHz
• High Gain: 18.5 dB Typical at 0.5 GHz
• Unconditionally Stable (k>1) The MSA-series is fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT, 25␣ GHz f MAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility. The recommended assembly procedure is gold-eutectic die attach at 400°C and either wedge or ball bonding using 0.7 mil gold wire..
