It is designed for operation from 18 to 31.5 3 Pin Configuration GHz and housed in a lead-free 2 mm 8-lead PDFN plastic package. Pin No. Pin Name Description The MAAL-011129 has an integrated active bias 1 GND Ground circuit and bias tee to allow direct connection to V DD without external chokes or DC blocks. The bias 2 RF RF Input IN current is set by a simple external resistor, RB, so 3 GND Ground the user can customize the power consumption. When V = 0 V, the device is placed in power BIAS 4 V Bias Control Voltage BIAS down mode. 5 V Drain Voltage DD The MAAL-011129 offers a surface-mount, easy-to- 6 GND Ground use, low noise amplifier solution that is well suited to 7 RF RF Output OUT diverse receiver applications such as VSAT, Point-to -Point and 24 GHz ISM. 8 GND Ground Paddle RF + DC Ground 3. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be connected to RF, DC and thermal ground. 1,2 Ordering Information Part Number Package MAAL-011129-TR3000 3000 piece reel MAAL-011129-SMB Sample Board 1.

Proper ESD control techniques Operating Temperature -40C to +85C should be used when handling these devices. Storage Temperature -65C to +150C 4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. 6. Operating at nominal conditions with T +150C will ensure J 6 MTTF > 1 x 10 hours. 7.
