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 appliances.
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. Absolute Maximum Ratings 3,4
