Description

M/A-COM’s AM42-0007 is a three-stage MMIC linear power
amplifier in a ceramic bolt down style hermetic package. The
AM42-0007 employs a fully matched chip with internally
decoupled Gate and Drain bias networks and an ouput power
detector. The AM42-0007 is designed to be operated from a
constant voltage Drain supply.

The AM42-0007 is designed for use as an output stage or a
driver, in applications for VSAT systems. This design is fully
monolithic and requires a minimum of external components.

M/A-COM’s AM42-0007 is fabricated using a mature 0.5
micron GaAs MESFET process. The process features full
passivation for increased performance and reliability. This
product is 100% RF tested to ensure compliance to performance
specifications.
