Description

M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0014 RF driver amplifier is a

GaAs MMIC which exhibits excellent ACPR

performance as well as high gain and low power

consumption in a low-cost SOT-89 surface mount

plastic package.

The MAAMSS0014 employs a monolithic single

stage design featuring a convenient 50-ohm input/

output impedance. This device runs off a single +5

volt supply and draws 110 mA typically. The design

provides excellent performance from 500 to 2400

MHz.

The MAAMSS0014 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s

iHBT process to realize low current and high power

functionality. The process features full passivation

for increased performance and reliability.

1. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause

permanent damage to this device.

2. The MAAMSS0014 is designed to operate optimally at 10 dB

backed off from its output P1dB of 24 dBm. Driving the device

at higher power levels could degrade performance.
