Description

M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0072 RF driver amplifier is a

two-stage GaAs MMIC which exhibits exceptional

linearity performance as well as high gain in a lead-

free

4x4

mm

PQFN

surface mount

plastic

package. The device is biased with a single +5 volt

supply and consumes 200 mA typically.

The MAAMSS0072 is fabricated using a high

linearity HBT process to realize low current and high

power functionality. The process features full

passivation for increased performance and reliability.

The MAAMSS0072 can be externally tuned for

operation anywhere within the 250 to 4000 MHz

frequency band.
