Description

M/A-COM’s MAAM12021 is a high performance GaAs

MMIC low noise amplifier in a low cost SOIC 8-lead sur-

face mount plastic package. The MAAM12021 employs a

fully monolithic design which eliminates the need for

external tuning networks. It can be biased using 3- or

5-volt supplies and has an option for biasing at higher

currents for increased dynamic range.

The MAAM12021 is ideally suited for use where low

noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range and low

power consumption are required. Typical applications

include receiver front ends in the Global Positioning

System (GPS) and Japanese Personal Digital Cellular

(PDC-1500) markets, as well as standard gain blocks,

buffer amps, driver amps and IF amps in both fixed and

portable systems.

M/A-COM’s MAAM12021 is fabricated using a mature

0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The process fea-

tures full passivation for increased performance reliability.
