Description
The INA-01100 is a low-noise silicon
bipolar Monolithic Microwave
Integrated Circuit (MMIC) feedback
amplifier chip. It is designed for
The INA series of MMICs is
fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT,
25 GHz f
bipolar process which uses nitride
self-alignment, submicrometer
lithography, trench isolation, ion
implantation, gold metallization
and polyimide intermetal dielectric and scratch protection to
achieve excellent performance,
uniformity and reliability.
The recommended assembly
procedure is gold-eutectic die
attach at 400°C and either wedge
or ball bonding using 0.7 mil gold
wire.
narrow or wide bandwidth industrial and military applications that
require high gain and low noise IF
