Description
The MAAM-009116 is a high dynamic range
amplifier in a lead-free SOT-89 surface mount
plastic package. It can be operated from a single 5
volt supply.
The MAAM-009116 offers a combination of low
noise figure, high gain, and high output IP3 making
this an ideal IF amplifier for receiver and transmitter
applications.
The MAAM-009116 is fabricated using M/A-COM
Technology Solutions MESFET process to realize
low noise and high dynamic range. The process
features full passivation for performance and
reliability.

3. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
4. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN))
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 70° C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 88 °C @ 5 V, 180 mA, POUT = 5 dBm, PIN = -13 dBm
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ = 143 °C @ 5 V, 165 mA, POUT = 4.7 dBm, PIN = -13 dBm
