Description
M/A-COM’s MAAM-007807 CATV amplifier is a
GaAs MMIC which exhibits low distortion in a
miniature lead-free surface mount package. The
MAAM-007807 employs a monolithic single stage
design featuring a convenient 75 Ω input/output
impedance that minimizes the number of external
components required.
The MAAM-007807 provides low noise and high
linearity. It is ideally suited for set top boxes, home
gateways and other broadband internet based
appliances.
The MAAM-007807 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s
pHEMT process to realize low noise and low
distortion. The process features full passivation for
robust performance and reliability.

2. All sample boards include 5 loose parts. 3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
4. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
5. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
6. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * (V * I)
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 86° C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 51°C @ 5 V, 60 mA
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ = 109°C @ 5 V, 55 mA
