Technical Data
MSA-0204

Features

• Cascadable 50 Gain Block
• 3 dB Bandwidth:
DC to 1.8 GHz
designed for use as a general purpose 50 gain block. Typical applications include narrow and broad band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications.
1.0␣ GHz
• Unconditionally Stable (k>1)
• Low Cost Plastic Package
The MSA-series is fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT, 25␣ GHz f silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metalli-

Description

The MSA-0204 is a high perfor­mance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a low cost plastic package. This MMIC is
zation to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
