MAAL-009120 Miniature Broadband Gain Stage 70 - 3000 MHz Functional Block Diagram Features Rev. V1 Low Noise Figure High IP3 Single Supply +3 V, +5 V 6 RoHS* Compliant SC70- 6LD Package Pin 1 RF OUT/ VDD GND Description Paddle M/A-COM Technology's MAAL-009120 broadband gain stage is a GaAs MMIC amplifier in a lead-free SC70-6LD (SOT-363) surface mount plastic package. The MAAL-009120 employs a monolithic 1 -stage self-biased design featuring a convenient 50 input/output impedance that minimizes the number of external components required. Its broadband design provides usable performance from 500 to 3000 MHz. For operation below 500 MHz contact M/A-COM Tech's application group for support.
