The MAAMSS0017 employs a monolithic single
stage design featuring a convenient 50 Ω input /
output impedance that minimizes the number of
external components required. The device runs off
a single +5 volt supply and draws 70 mA typically.

1. Reference Application Note M513 for reel size information.
3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
4. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
