Description
The MAAM-011220 is an RF amplifier assembled in
a SOT-89 plastic package. This amplifier provides
18 dB of ultra flat gain while biased at either 8 or 5
volts. The amplifier provides excellent linearity.
The MAAM-011220 provides high gain, low noise
and low distortion making it ideally suited for 75 Ω
infrastructure applications.
The MAAM-011220 is fabricated using GaAs
pHEMT technology.

Electrical Specifications: Freq. = 45 - 1218 MHz, TA = 25°C, VDD= 8 V, Z0 = 75 Ω
Absolute Maximum Ratings3,4,5,6
3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
4. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
5. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
6. Junction Temperature (TJ) = Case Temperature (TC) + ӨJC*(V*I)
Typical thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 50.4°C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 67.5°C @ 8 V, 130 mA
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ = 137.5°C @ 8 V, 130 mA
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these HBM Class1A
devices.
