Description
The INA-02100 is a low-noise silicon
bipolar Monolithic Microwave
Integrated Circuit (MMIC) feedback
amplifier chip. It is designed for
narrow or wide bandwidth industrial and military applications that
require high gain and low noise IF
or RF amplification.
The INA series of MMICs is
fabricated using HP’s 10 GHz fT,
25 GHz f
, ISOSAT™-I silicon
MAX
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
[1]
wire.

Notes:
1. The recommended operating current range for this device is 30 to 40 mA. Typical performance as a function of current
is on the following page.
2. RF performance of the chip is determined by packaging and testing 10 devices per wafer.
3. The values are the achievable performance for the INA-02100 mounted in a 70 mil stripline package.
