Preliminary Datasheet
Features
♦ 1.6 Watt Saturated Output Power Level
♦ Variable Drain Voltage (6-10V) Operation
♦ MSAG® Process
Description
The MAAPGM0071-DIE is a 4-stage 1.6 W power amplifier with
on-chip bias networks. This product is fully matched to 50 ohms
on both the input and output. It can be used as a power amplifier
stage or as a driver stage in high power applications.
Fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable, high performance and
highly reliable GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate (MSAG™)
Process, each device is 100% RF tested on wafer to ensure
performance compliance.
M/A-COM’s MSAG™ process features robust silicon-like manu-
facturing processes, planar processing of ion implanted transis-
tors, multiple implant capability enabling power, low-noise, switch
and digital FETs on a single chip, and polyimide scratch protec-
tion for ease of use with automated manufacturing processes.
The use of refractory metals and the absence of platinum in the
gate metal formulation prevents hydrogen poisoning when em-
ployed in hermetic packaging.
