Description

M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0050 RF driver amplifier is a

GaAs MMIC which exhibits exceptional linearity

performance as well as featuring high gain in a

lead-free miniature SOT-89 surface mount plastic

package. The device runs off a single +5 volt supply

and draws 420 mA typically.

The MAAMSS0050 is fabricated using an HBT

process to realize low current and high power

functionality. The process features full passivation

for increased performance and reliability.
