Description

M/A-COM’s MAALSS0033 LNA is a GaAs MMIC low

noise amplifier in a lead-free SOT-26 surface mount

plastic package.

The MAALSS0033 employs a

monolithic 2-stage design featuring a convenient

50-ohm input/output impedance that minimizes the

number of external components required.

The

device typically runs off a single 3 volt to 5 volt

supply and has an off chip resistor that can be used

to improve the linearity performance.

The design

provides excellent performance from 2.2 to 2.4 GHz.

The MAALSS0033 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s

E/D process to realize low noise and high dynamic

range.

The process features full passivation for

increased performance and reliability.
