MAAM12032

M/A-COM's MAAM12032 is a high performance GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier in a low cost SOIC 8-lead surface mount plastic package. The MAAM12032 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 MAAM12032 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 Japanese Personal Handy Phone Service (PHS), Private Branch Exchange (PBX) and Personal Communications Systems and Networks (PCS, PCN) markets, as well as standard gain blocks, buffer amps, driver amps and IF amps in both fixed and portable systems.

M/A-COM's MAAM12032 is fabricated using a mature 0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The process features full passivation for increased performance reliability
