Miniature Broadband Gain Stage,

M/A-COMs MAALSS0012 Broadband gain stage is a GaAs MMIC Amplifier in a low-cost miniature SOT-363 surface mount plastic package. The MAALSS0012 employs a monolithic 1-stage self-biased design featuring a convenient 50 ohm input/output impedance that minimizes the number of external components required. The device typically runs from a single 3.0 volt supply and may also operate at any voltage up to 5.0 volts for improved power performance. Its Broadband design provides usable performance from 70 to 3000 MHz. To show off-chip tuning requirements from 70 to 210 MHz, IF application circuitry is available on page 6.
