Specifications

Parameter	Absolute Maximum[1]
Device Current	80 mA
Power Dissipation[2,3]	750 mW
RF Input Power	+13 dBm
Junction Temperature	200
Storage Temperature	65 to 200

Notes:
1. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded.
2. T_CASE = 25.
3. Derate at 6.7 mW/ for T_C > 88.
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-9970 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a hermetic high reliability package. This MMIC is designed with high open loop gain and is intended to be used with external resistive and reactive feedback elements to create a variety of special purpose gain blocks.

Applications of MSA-9970 include very broadband, minimum ripple amplifiers with extended low frequency performance possible through the use of a high valued external feedback blocking capacitor; extremely well matched (20 dB return loss) amplifiers; and negative gain slope amplifiers for flattening MMIC cascades.

The MSA-9970 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.
