MAAM26100-B1 is a fully monolithic design which
eliminates the need for external circuitry in 50-ohm
systems.
The MAAM26100-B1 is ideally suited for driver
amplifiers and transmitter outputs in UMTS
applications, test equipment, electronic warfare
jammers, missile subsystems and phased array
radars.

3. Nominal bias is obtained by first connecting –5 volts to pin 1
(VGG), followed by connecting +8 volts to pin 5 (VD1) and pin 4
(VD2). Note sequence.
4. RF ground and thermal interface are the case bottom.
Adequate heat sinking is required.
The MAAM26100-B1 is fabricated using a mature
0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The process
features full passivation for increased
performance reliability.
