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.
