The MSA-0686 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) housed in a low cost,
surface mount plastic package.
This MMIC is designed for use as a
general purpose 50 Ω gain block.
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
MAX
,
silicon bipolar MMIC process
which uses nitride self-alignment,
ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent
performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external
bias resistor for temperature and
current stability also allows bias
flexibility.
