Description
The MSA-1105 is a high perfor-
mance silicon bipolar Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) housed in a low cost,
surface mount plastic package.
This MMIC is designed for high
dynamic range in either 50 or 75
Ω
systems by combining low noise
figure with high IP
3
. Typical
applications include narrow and
broadband linear amplifiers in
commercial and industrial systems.
05 Plastic Package
The MSA-series is fabricated using
HP’s 10 GHz f
T
, 25 GHz f
MAX
silicon bipolar MMIC process
which uses nitride self-alignment,
ion implantation, and gold metalli-
zation to achieve excellent
performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external
bias resistor for temperature and
current stability also allows bias
flexibility.
