Description

The MAAM37000 die is a wide-band, low noise,

MMIC amplifier.

It includes two integrated gain

stages and employs series inductive feedback to

obtain excellent noise figure and a good 50 Ω, input

and output impedance match over the entire

frequency band. The MAAM37000 operates from a

single +4 V supply.

The MAAM37000 performs well as a low noise

amplifier in receive applications and as a driver or

buffer amplifier where high gain, excellent linearity

and low power consumption are important. Because

of its wide bandwidth, the MAAM37000 can be used

in numerous commercial and government system

applications,

such

as

TVRO,

VSAT,

missile

guidance, and radar.

The MAAM37000 is

manufactured in-house using a reliable, 0.5-micron,

GaAs MESFET process. This product is 100% RF

tested to ensure compliance to performance

specifications.
