Description
The MSA-0370 is a high perfor-
mance silicon bipolar Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) housed in a hermetic, high
reliability package. This MMIC is
designed for use as a general
purpose 50 gain block. Typical
applications include narrow and
broad band IF and RF amplifiers in
industrial and military applications.
The MSA-series is fabricated using
Agilent’s 10 GHz f
T
, 25 GHz f
MAX
,
silicon bipolar MMIC process which
uses nitride self-alignment, ion
implantation, and gold metallization
to achieve excellent performance,
uniformity and reliability. The use
of an external bias resistor for
temperature and current stability
also allows bias flexibility.
