M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell,MA,USA(which makes analog semiconductors,components and subassemblies for RF,microwave and millimeter-wave applications)has launched an RF driver amplifier for MilCom and infrastructure applications.
The MAAM-010617 is a 30dBm gallium arsenide(GaAs)monolithic microwave integrated circuit(MMIC)amplifier that exhibits high linearity over a wide input power range.Biased with a single+5V supply,it has a quiescent current of 420mA.The amplifier is tunable over the wide frequency range of 30-4000MHz in order to optimize its performance based on the end application.
Packaged in a lead-free SOT-89 package,the MAAM-010617 is fabricated using an HBT process to realize a constant high linearity over a wide input power and frequency range.The operating bandwidth can be optimized with selective off-chip components.
"The high linearity and frequency range of this part make it an ideal gain block in linear systems,"says Kevin Harrington,Aerospace&Defense marketing manager."The SOT-89 standard package is a good thermally efficient package which is easy to handle during assembly for our customers,"he claims.
Production quantities and samples are available from stock.
