Agilent MSA-0520
Cascadable Silicon Bipolar
MMIC Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
The MSA-0520 is a high perfor-
mance silicon bipolar Monolithic
Microwave Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) housed in a hermetic,
BeO disk package for good
thermal characteristics. This
MMIC is designed for use as a
general purpose 50 Ω gain block.
Typical applications include
narrow and broad band IF and RF
amplifiers in industrial and
military applications.
200 mil BeO Package
Features
• Cascadable 50 Ω Gain Block
• High Output Power:
+23 dBm Typical P1 dB at
1.0 GHz
• Low Distortion:
33 dBm Typical IP3 at 1.0 GHz
• 8.5 dB Typical Gain at
1.0 GHz
• Hermetic Metal/Beryllia
Microstrip Package
Typical Biasing Configuration
The MSA-series is fabricated using
Agilent’s 10 GHz fT, 25 GHz fMAX,
silicon bipolar MMIC process
which uses nitride self-alignment,
ion implantation, and gold metalli-
zation to achieve excellent
performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external
bias resistor for temperature and
current stability also allows bias
flexibility.
