Description
M/A-COM’s MAAL-008550 low noise amplifier is a
GaAs MMIC amplifier in a lead-free SC70 surface
mount plastic package. The MAAL-008550 employs
a monolithic single stage design and can be biased
from a single 3.0 volt supply. Any voltage between
3.0 and 5.0 volts can be used, depending on system
requirements. Its low noise design provides usable
performance from 0.5 to 3.0 GHz.
