Point-to-Point, IMS, EW, A&D RF / IN V 3 44 C V G Description The MAAM-011100 is an easy-to-use, broadband, general purpose variable gain amplifier. Its over 30 dB gain range is controlled by a single control pin Pin Configuration and 50 match is maintained over all settings. The MAAM-011100 operates from 400 MHz to 20 GHz and features flat gain control from +10 dB to 1 RF /V RF Output OUT D -20 dB. At maximum gain setting (V = Open) it C delivers up to +18 dBm power and under 5 dB noise 2 N/C No Connection figure. Both reduce proportionally as gain is reduced 3 RF /V RF Input with V . The input IP3 exceeds +15 dBm at max/min IN G C gain settings. The device is typically biased with a V = +5 V, V = -0.5 V, and a control of 0 V to -2 V. 4 V Voltage Control C D G Typical current is 70 mA with V at -0.5 V G 5 N/C No Connection The MAAM-011100 is ideally suited for use as a 6 N/C No Connection power amplifier driver, gain trimming block, or temperature compensation in the receive or transmit 3 7 Paddle Ground mode. 3.

Proper ESD control techniques Junction Temperature +150C should be used when handling these devices. Operating Temperature -40C to +85C Storage Temperature -65C to +150C 5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. 7.
