MSA-0886-TR2G [Broadcom]

The MSA-0886 is a cascadable silicon bipolar MMIC amplifier designed for use as a general purpose 50 Ω gain block above 0.5GHz and as a high gain transistor below this frequency. It features usable gain to 5.5GHz, high gain (32.5 dB typical at 0.1GHz, 22.5 dB typical at 1.0GHz), low noise figure (3.3 dB typical at 1.0GHz), and surface mount plastic packaging. The device is fabricated using Agilent's 10 GHz fT, 25GHz fMAX silicon bipolar MMIC process with nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metallization for excellent performance, uniformity, and reliability. External bias resistor provides temperature and current stability with bias flexibility.
