Description
M/A-COM’s MAALSS0024 is a broadband GaAs
MMIC low noise amplifier in a low-cost SOT-26
surface mount plastic package. It employs a
monolithic
two-stage
self-biased
provides excellent performance from 1.7 to 2.1 GHz.
The MAALSS0024 is ideal for both wireless handset
and wireless infrastructure applications including
PHS, GSM, PCS, UMTS and EDGE applications. It
can also be used as a gain stage, buffer, or driver
amplifier in fixed and portable systems.
M/A-COM fabricates the MAALSS0024 using an
E/D MESFET process to realize low noise and high
dynamic range. The process features full
passivation for performance and reliability.
