Description
M/A-COM’s MAALSS0040 is a high dynamic range,
GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a lead-free
SOT-26 package. It employs external matching to
obtain optimum noise figure and intercept
performance. The MAALSS0040 may be operated
with supply voltages of +5 V.
Pin Configuration
The MAALSS0040 is ideally suited for use where low
noise figure, high gain, and high dynamic range are
required. Typical applications included receiver front
ends in AMPS, GSM and ETACS base stations. It
may also be used as an IF amplifier in certain other
communication systems.
