MSA-2011, MSA-2086
Data Sheet
Silicon Bipolar RFIC Amplifiers
Description
The MSA-2011 and MSA-2086 are high performance sili-
con bipolar RFIC amplifiers designed to be cascadable in
50 Ω systems. The stability factor of K > 1 contributes to
easy cascading in numerous narrow and broadband IF
and RF commercial and industrial applications.
The MSA-2011 and -2086 are fabricated using a 10 GHz
f
T
, 25 GHz F
MAX
, silicon bipolar RFIC process which utilizes
nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold met-
allization to achieve excellent uniformity, performance,
and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for
temperature and current stability also allows bias flex-
ibility.
Package options include the industry standard plastic
surface mount SOT-143 package and the 85 mil surface
mountable plastic microstripline package.
