plastic package. This MMIC is 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.
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-0404 is a high perfor­mance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a low cost
performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
