Features

Description

This product is fully matched to 50 ohms on both the input and output. It can be used

as a power amplifier stage or as a driver stage in high power applications.

Fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable, high performance and highly reliable GaAs

Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate (MSAG)Process, each device is 100% RF tested on

wafer to ensure performance compliance.

M/A-COM’s MSAG process features robust silicon-like manufacturing processes, pla-

nar processing of ion implanted transistors, multiple implant capability enabling power,

low-noise, switch and digital FETs on a single chip, and polyimide scratch protection

for ease of use with automated manufacturing processes. The use of refractory met-

als and the absence of platinum in the gate metal formulation prevents hydrogen poi-

soning when employed in hermetic packaging.
