86 Plastic PackageDescription
The MSA-0886 is a high perfor-
mance silicon bipolar Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) housed in a low cost,
surface mount plastic package.
This MMIC is designed for use as a
general purpose 50 gain block
above 0.5 GHz and can be used as
a high gain transistor below this
frequency. Typical applications
include narrow and moderate band
IF and RF amplifiers in commer-
cial and industrial applications.
The MSA-series is fabricated using

,
silicon bipolar MMIC process
which uses nitride self-alignment,
ion implantation, and gold metalli-
zation to achieve excellent perfor-
mance, uniformity and reliability.
The use of an external bias resistor
for temperature and current
stability also allows bias flexibility.
