D e s c r i p t i o n

M/A-COM’s MAAM37000-A1 is a wide band, low noise,
MMIC amplifier housed in a small 8-lead ceramic pack­age. It includes two integrated gain stages and employs
series inductive feedback to obtain excellent noise figure
and a good, 50-ohm, input and output impedance match
over the entire frequency band. The MAAM37000-A1
operates from a single +4 V supply. It is fully monolithic,
re q u i res no external components, and is provided in a
u s e r-friendly, microwave package.

The MAAM37000-A1 perf o rms well as a low noise ampli­fier in receive applications and as a driver or buffer ampli­fier where high gain, excellent linearity and low power
consumption are important. Because of its wide band­width, the MAAM37000-A1 can be used in numero u s
c o m m e rcial and government system applications, such as
TVRO, VSAT, missile guidance and radar.
