in a low cost plastic 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 systems.
• Low Distortion:
29.0 dBm Typical IP3 at 1.0␣ GHz
• 7.0 dB Typical Gain at

• 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 metallization to achieve excellent
Description
The MSA-0504 is a high performance medium power silicon
bipolar Monolithic Microwave
Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed
performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external
bias resistor for temperature and
current stability also allows bias
flexibility.
