Description
The MSA-0236 is a high performance silicon bipolar
Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed
in a cost effective, microstrip 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 Avago’s 10 GHz f

, 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.
