Description

M/A-COM's AM50-0002 is a high perf o rmance GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier in a low cost SOIC 8-lead surface mount plastic package. The AM50-0002 employs a monolithic 3-stage self-bias design and a simple external matching network to obtain minimum noise figure. It can be biased using 3- or 5-volt supplies.

The AM50-0002 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) market, as well as standard gain blocks, buffer amps, driver amps and IF amps in both fixed and portable systems.

M/A-COM's AM50-0002 is fabricated using a mature 0.5- micron gate length GaAs process. The process features
full passivation for increased performance reliability .
