Functional Block Diagram
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.
