Description
The MAAM-011206 is a versatile, DC - 15 GHz,
Darlington amplifier, with 13.5 dB typical gain and 18
dBm of output power. The input and output are fully
matched to 50 Ω with typical return loss >10 dB.
Third order linearity (OIP3) is typically 28 dBm and
reverse isolation is >21 dB. Functional operation is
achieved with a single bias voltage VDD, from +3 V
to +5 V.

The MAAM-011206 is housed in a leadless 1.5 x 1.2
mm plastic SMT package compatible with standard
pick and place assembly equipment. It is fabricated
using a GaAs process which features full passivation
for increased performance and reliability.

3. MACOM recommends connecting unused package pins to
ground.
4. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be
connected to RF, DC and thermal ground.
The device is well suited to diverse applications
such as LO drivers, gain blocks and RF driver
stages.
