MAAL-010200 Miniature Broadband Gain Stage Rev. V1 70 - 3000 MHz Features Functional Block Diagram Low Noise Figure High IP 3 6 Single Supply +3 V, +5 V RoHS* Compliant SOT-89 Package Description M/A-COM Technologys MAAL-010200 broadband gain stage is a GaAs MMIC amplifier in a lead-free SOT-89 surface mount plastic package. The MAAL- 010200 employs a monolithic 1-stage self-biased design featuring a convenient 50 input/output Pin 1 impedance that minimizes the number of external RF Out/V components required. Its broadband design provides RF In DD usable performance from 500 to 3000 MHz. For operation below 500 MHz contact M/A-COM Technologys application group for support.

Reference Application Note M513 for reel size information. Voltage 5.5 volts 2. All sample boards include 5 loose parts. Operating Temperature -40 C to +85 C Storage Temperature -65 C to +150 C 3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 4. M/A-COM Technology does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. 5. Operating at 5 volts with no drain resistor will require the RF output power to be no greater than 10 dBm. * Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, European Union Directive 2002/95/EC. 1 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.
