MAALSS0048

Low Noise

MACOM’s MAALSS0048 is a high dynamic range, GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a lead-free, SOT-26 miniature surface mount, plastic package. It employs external input matching to obtain optimum noise figure performance and operating frequency flexibility. The MAALSS0048 also features flexible biasing to control the current consumption vs. dynamic range trade-off. The MAALSS0048 can operate from any positive supply voltage in the 3 V to 8 V range. Its current can be controlled over a range of 3 mA to 20 mA with an external resistor. The MAALSS0048 is ideally suited for use where low noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range, and low power consumption are required. Typical applications included receiver front ends in PDC, DCS-1800, DCS-1900 and other PCN/PCS applications. It is also useful as a gain block, buffer, driver, and IF amplifier in both fixed or portable PDC and PCN/PCS systems.
