Description

The MAAPSS0096 is a two-stage power amplifier

mounted in a lead-free, 4 mm 16-lead PQFN plastic

package.

The MAAPSS0096 is designed specifically for the

UNII, MMAC, WiMax, and Hiperlan bands (4.9

GHz - 6.0 GHz). It has fully matched, 50-ohm input

and output ports, eliminating the need for external

RF tuning components.

M/A-COM fabricates the MAAPSS0096 using a self-

aligned gate MESFET process to realize high power

efficiency and small size. The process features full

passivation for performance and reliability.
