Description

M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0042 CATV amplifier is a

GaAs MMIC which exhibits low distortion in a

lead-free miniature surface mount plastic package.

The MAAMSS0042 employs a monolithic single

stage design featuring a convenient 75

Ω input/

output impedance that minimizes the number of

external components required.

The MAAMSS0042 provides low noise and high

linearity. It is ideally suited for set top boxes, home

gateways, FTTX, Drop Amplifiers, and other

broadband internet based appliances.

The MAAMSS0042 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s

PHEMT process to realize low noise and low

distortion. The process features full passivation for

robust performance and reliability.
