Description
M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0073 RF driver amplifier is a
two-stage GaAs MMIC which exhibits exceptional
linearity performance as well as high gain in a lead-
free 4x4 mm PQFN surface mount plastic
package. The device is biased with a single +5 volt
supply and consumes 490 mA typically.
The MAAMSS0073 is fabricated using a high
linearity HBT process to realize low current and high
power functionality. The process features full
passivation for increased performance and reliability.
