The MAAL-FR0001 is a 3 stage high performance GaAs wide band low noise amplifier designed to operate from 1 to 18 GHz. This amplifier has an exceptionally low noise figure of 1.2 dB and high gain of 29 dB as well as low power consumption. The drain voltage is typically 1.5 V and the total current consumption is 50 mA.
The die is manufactured using a high performance 70 nm gate length high indium content MHEMT low noise technology. The MMIC uses gold bonding pads and backside metallization. The die is fully protected with silicon nitride passivation to obtain the highest level of reliability.
