Description
The
MAAMGM0002-Die
is a 0.1W Distributed Amplifier with on-chip
bias networks. This product is fully matched to 50 ohms on both the
input and output. The MMIC can be used as a broadband amplifier
stage or as a driver stage in high power applications.
Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure performance compliance.
The part is fabricated using M/A-COM’s GaAs Multifunction Self-
Aligned Gate Process.
M/A-COM’s MSAG™ process features robust silicon-like manufac-
turing processes, planar processing of ion implanted transistors, mul-
tiple implant capability enabling power, low-noise, switch and digital
FETs on a single chip, and polyimide scratch protection for ease of
use with automated manufacturing processes. The use of refractory
metals and the absence of platinum in the gate metal formulation
prevents hydrogen poisoning when employed in hermetic packaging.
