Description

M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0003 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC

amplifier in a 4 mm 20-lead PQFN package. The

MMIC design is configured as a pair of cascode

PHEMT amplifiers for broadband performance. It is

designed for integration in a 75-ohm push-pull, low

distortion, amplifier circuit.

The

device is ideally

suited

for

use

in

CATV,

DBS,

and

HDTV

applications

where

low

noise

figure

and

low

distortion are required.
