Description
The MAAM37000-A1 is a wide-band, low noise,
MMIC amplifier housed in a small, lead-free, 8-lead
ceramic package. It includes two integrated gain
stages and employs series inductive feedback to
obtain excellent noise figure and a good, 50 Ω, input
and output impedance match over the entire
frequency band. The MAAM37000-A1 operates
from a single +4 V supply. It is fully monolithic,
requires no external components, and is provided in
a user-friendly, microwave package.

ground.
The MAAM37000-A1 performs well as a low noise
amplifier in receive applications and as a driver or
buffer amplifier where high gain, excellent linearity
and low power consumption are important. Because
of its wide bandwidth, the MAAM37000-A1 can be
used in numerous commercial and government
system applications, such as TVRO, VSAT, missile
guidance and radar.
