MAALSS0042
Low Noise
MACOM’s MAALSS0042 is a high performance GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier in a lead-free SOIC 8-lead surface mount plastic package. The MAALSS0042 employs a monolithic 3-stage selfbias design and a simple external matching network to obtain minimum noise figure. The MAALSS0042 is ideally suited for use where low noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range and low power consumption are required. Typical applications include receiver front ends in the Global Positioning System (GPS) market, as well as standard gain blocks, buffer amps, driver amps, and IF amps in both fixed and portable systems. MACOM’S MAALSS0042 is fabricated using a mature 0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The process features full passivation for increased performance reliability.
