Features

• Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block
• 3 dB Bandwidth: DC to 0.8 GHz
• High Gain: 17.0 dB Typical at 0.5 GHz
• Unconditionally Stable (k>1)
• Low Cost Plastic Package designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical applications include narrow and wide bandwidth IF and RF amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications. 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 resis.
