Description
M/A-COM’s MAAL-007673 is a high performance
GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier in a lead-free SOIC
8-lead surface mount package. The MAAL-007673
employs a fully monolithic design which eliminates
the need for external tuning networks. It can be
biased using 3 or 5 volt supplies and has an option
for biasing at higher currents for increased dynamic
range.
