The MSA-0311 is a low cost silicon
bipolar Monolithic Microwave
Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed
in the surface mount plastic
SOT-143 package. This MMIC is
designed for use as a general

purpose 50 Ω gain block. Typical

applications include narrow and
broad band IF and RF amplifiers
in commercial and industrial
applications.

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-
