Description
M/A-COM's MAALSS0013 LNA is a GaAs MMIC low
noise amplifier in a low-cost miniature SOT-26 surface
mount plastic package. The MAALSS0013 employs a
monolithic 2-stage design featuring a convenient 50
ohm input/output impedance that minimizes the
number of external components required. The device
typically runs off a single 3 volt to 5 volt supply and
has an off chip resistor that can be used to improve
the linearity performance. The design provides usable
performance from 2.2 to 2.4 GHz.
The MAALSS0013 is fabricated using M/A-COM's new
E/D process to realize low noise and high dynamic
range. The process features full passivation for
increased performance and reliability.
