Description

M/A-COM’s MAAMSS0060 CATV amplifier is a

GaAs MMIC which exhibits low distortion in a lead

free miniature surface mount plastic package. The

MAAMSS0060 employs a monolithic single stage

design featuring a convenient 75  input/output

impedance that minimizes the number of external

components required.

The MAAMSS0060 provides low noise and high

linearity. It is ideally suited for set top boxes, home

gateways, FTTX, Drop Amplifiers, and other

broadband internet based applications.

The MAAMSS0060 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s

PHEMT process to realize low noise and low

distortion. The process features full passivation for

robust performance and reliability.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid

damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive

to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be

damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control

techniques should be used when handling these

devices.

Lead-Free SOT-89 Plastic Package†

† Reference Application Note M538 for lead-free solder reflow recommendations.

Meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.

Plating is 100% matte tin over copper.
