MAAMSS0045 High Dynamic Range Low Noise Amplifier Rev. V1 1400 - 2000 MHz Features Functional Block Diagram Low Noise Figure: 1.4 dB High Input IP3: +18 dBm at 8 V, 45 mA bias +8 dBm at 3 V, 20 mA bias GND GND High Gain: 14 dB Single Supply: +3 to +8 VDC Adjustable current: 20 to 60 mA with external R V EXT DD resistor Lead-Free SOIC-8 Package 100% Matte Tin Plating over Copper RF IN RF OUT Halogen-Free Green Mold Compound 260C Reflow Compatible RoHS* Compliant Version of AM50-0004 GND GND Description M/A-COMs MAAMSS0045 is a high dynamic range, GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a lead-free SOIC 8-lead, surface mount, plastic package. It Pin Configuration employs external input matching to obtain optimum noise figure performance and operating frequency Pin No. Pin Name Description flexibility. The MAAMSS0045 also features flexible 1 GND RF and DC Ground biasing to control the current consumption vs. dynamic range trade-off. The MAAMSS0045 can External Current Control 2 R EXT operate from any positive supply voltage in the 3 V (optional) to 8 V range. Its current can be controlled over a 3 RF IN RF Input of the amplifier range of 20 mA to 60 mA with an external resistor. 4 GND RF and DC Ground The MAAMSS0045 is ideally suited for use where 5 GND RF and DC Ground low noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range, and 6 RF OUT RF Output of the amplifier low power consumption are required. Typical applications included receiver front ends in PDC, 7 V Positive supply voltage DD DCS-1800, DCS-1900 and other PCN/PCS base 8 GND RF and DC Ground stations. It is also useful as a gain block, buffer, driver, and IF amplifier in both fixed or portable PDC 1,2 Ordering Information and PCN/PCS systems. Part Number Package The MAAMSS0045 is fabricated using a low-cost 0.5 -micron gate length GaAs process. The process MAAMSS0045 Bulk Packaging features full passivation for increased performance MAAMSS0045TR-3000 3000 piece reel and reliability.
