Description

M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0048 RF driver amplifier is a

GaAs MMIC which exhibits exceptional linearity

performance over a dynamic range greater than 20

dB, as well as high gain in a lead-free miniature

SOT-89 surface mount plastic package. The device

runs off a single +5 volt supply and draws 160 mA

typically.

The MAAMSS0048 is fabricated using an HBT

process to realize low current and high linearity. The

process features full passivation for increased

performance and reliability.
