SOT-143 Package
Description
The MSA‑0311 is a low cost silicon bipolar Monolithic Mi‑
crowave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in the surface
mount plastic SOT‑143 package. This MMIC is designed
for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical ap‑
plications include narrow and broad band IF and RF am‑
pliers in commercial and industrial applications.
The MSA‑series is fabricated using Avago’s 10 GHz f
T
,
25 GHz f
MAX
, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses ni‑
tride self‑alignment, ion implantation, and gold metalli‑
zation to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temper‑
ature and current stability also allows bias exibility.
