Description
M/A-COM’s AM50-0002 is a high performance
GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier in a low cost SOIC
8 Lead surface mount plastic package. The AM50-
0002 employs a monolithic 3-stage self-bias design
and a simple external matching network to obtain
minimum noise figure.
The AM50-0002 is ideally suited for use where low
noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range and low
power consumption are required. Typical
applications include receiver front ends in the
Global Positioning System (GPS) market, as well as
standard gain blocks, buffer amps, driver amps, and
IF amps in both fixed and portable systems.
M/A-COM’S AM50-0002 is fabricated using a
mature 0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The
process features full passivation for increased
performance reliability.
