♦ Variable Drain Voltage (6-10V) Operation
♦ MSAG Process
Description
The MAAPGM0060-DIE is a 2-stage, 5 W power amplifier with on-chip
bias networks. This product is fully matched to
50 ohms on both the input and output. It can be used as a power ampli-
fier stage or as a driver stage in high power applications.
Each device is 100% RF tested on wafer to ensure performance
compliance. The part is fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable, high
performance and highly reliable GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate
(MSAG) Process. This process provides polyimide scratch protection.
