Description

M/A-COM’s AM50-0002 is a high performance

GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier in a low cost SOIC

8 Lead surface mount plastic package. The AM50-

0002 employs a monolithic 3-stage self-bias design

and a simple external matching network to obtain

minimum noise figure.

The AM50-0002 is ideally suited for use where low

noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range and low

power consumption are required. Typical

applications include receiver front ends in the

Global Positioning System (GPS) market, as well as

standard gain blocks, buffer amps, driver amps, and

IF amps in both fixed and portable systems.

M/A-COM’S AM50-0002 is fabricated using a

mature 0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The

process features full passivation for increased

performance reliability.
