M/A-COM, a business unit of Tyco Electronics and a provider of wireless radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter-wave components, introduced two new HBT MMIC amplifiers. The MAAM-007865-0P1R00 and the MAAM-007866-0P1R00 exhibit exceptional broadband frequency performance using only a single application circuit to cover frequency bands from 50 to 2000 MHz and 50 to 3300 MHz, respectively.
The MAAM-007865-0P1R00 is designed to have 20 dB gain with +/- 1.2 dB flatness across the frequency band. The P1dB level is 18 dBm and output IP3 is 29 dBm. The MAAM-007866 is a two-stage device designed to have 27 dB gain with +/- 1.2 dB flatness across the frequency band. The P1dB level is 22.5 dBm and ouput IP3 is 34 dBm.
The design of M/A-COM’s MAAM-007865-0P1R00 and MAAM-007866-0P1R00 incorporates an on-chip active bias network, reducing the number of off-board components thus easing application implementation. Both amplifiers require a single bias supply of +5 V, with a +5 V reference pin for power-down and power control capability. Each model is available in a 3 mm 12 lead PQFN package and assemblies are RoHS compliant. M/A-COM’s MAAM-007865-0P1R00 is available from stock and is priced at $1.56 in quantities of 10,000; M/A-COM’s MAAM-007866-0P1R00 is available from stock and is priced at $1.84 in quantities of 10,000.
