Specifications

Parameter	Absolute Maximum[1]
Device Current	120 mA
Power Dissipation[2,3]	850 mW
RF Input Power	+13 dBm
Junction Temperature	200°C
Storage Temperature	65 to 150°C

Notes:
1. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded.
2. T_CASE = 25°C.
3. Derate at 25 mW/°C for T_C > 166°C.
4. The small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though more accurate determination of qjc than do alternate methods. See MEASUREMENTS section "Thermal Resistance" for more information.




Description

The MSA-0420 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a hermetic, high reliability package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50 W gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in industrial and military applications.

The MSA-0420 is fabricated using HP's 10 GHz fT, 25Ê 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.
