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.
