Description
M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0057 RF driver amplifier is a
two stage GaAs MMIC which exhibits exceptional
linearity performance as well as featuring high gain
in a lead-free SOIC-8EP surface mount plastic
package. The device runs off a single +5 volt supply
and draws 490 mA typically.
The MAAMSS0057 is fabricated using a high
reliability GaAs HBT process to realize low current
and high power functionality. The process features
full passivation for increased performance and
reliability.
The MAAMSS0057 has been designed to be a
functional driver amplifier from 250 to 4000 MHz.
