MMA033AA
DC to 30GHz Broadband MMIC
Low-Power Amplifier
Description
Features
The MMA033AA is a seven stage traveling
Integrated LFX technology:
wave amplifier. The amplifier features
Simplified low-cost assembly
Microsemi active LFX (Low Frequency
Drain bias inductor not required
eXtension) circuitry designed to reduce
Broadband 45GHz performance:
the integration cost of the amplifier. LFX
Good gain (10 1.25dB)
eliminates the need for an off-chip bias choke
14.5dBm Psat, 11.5dBm P1dB
(drain inductor) for low-frequency operation,
Low Noise Figure (5.5dB)
simplifying and greatly reducing the cost
>30dB dynamic gain control
of assembly.
Integrated power detector
100% DC, RF, and visually tested
Application
Size: 1640x1100um (64.6x43.3mil)
The MMA033AA Broadband MMIC Amplifier
ECCN 3A001.b.2.d
with LFX is designed for inexpensive
integration in broadband applications
in RF and microwave communications,
test equipment and military systems.
Key Characteristics: Vdd=7V, Idd=85mA, Zo=50
