Description
The MMA036AA is a seven stage
traveling wave amplifier. The amplifier
features Microsemi PLFX (Passive Low
Frequency eXtension) circuitry designed
to reduce the integration cost of the amplifier.
PLFX isolates the amplifier from bias
inductor resonances, allowing use
of a less-expensive coil.
Application
The MMA036AA Broadband MMIC Low-Noise
Amplifier with PLFX is designed for high
efficiency and low-noise broadband
applications in RF and microwave
communications, test equipment and
military systems. By using specific external
components, the bandwidth of operation
can be extended below 40MHz.
Key Characteristics: Vdd=4.5V, Idd=85mA, Zo=50Ω
Specifications pertain to wafer measurements with RF probes and DC bias cards @ 25°C
