MSA-0886

Notes:
1. Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded.
2. T_CASE = 25.
3. Derate at 7.1 mW/ for T_C > 80.
4. See MEASUREMENTS section "Thermal Resistance" for more information.

The MSA-0886 is a high performance silicon bipolar Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) housed in a low cost, surface mount plastic package. This MMIC is designed for use as a general purpose 50 gain block above 0.5GHz and can be used as a high gain transistor below this frequency. Typical applications include narrow and moderate band IF and RF amplifiers in commercial and industrial applications.

The MSA-0886 is fabricated using HP's 10 GHz fT, 25GHz f MAX, silicon bipolar MMIC process which uses nitride self-alignment, ion implantation, and gold metallization to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability. The use of an external bias resistor for temperature and current stability also allows bias flexibility.
