MODAMP MMIC Nomenclature - App Note

From Avago Technologies
 

 
Avago Technologies' MODAMP™ series of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits are numbered using a significant numbering system. The user can, therefore, tell a fair amount about the product he or she is using from its name alone. The details of this numbering system are described below. The prefix "MSA" is used to designate a product that is a "standard" (catalog) Monolithic Silicon Amplifier MMIC. All MSA products are feedback amplifiers consisting of two bipolar transistors connected in Darlington and surrounded by an on-chip network of resistors to provide feedback and biasing. Die Geometries The first two digits following the prefix specify the MODAMP die used in the product. There are presently eleven geometries available: General Purpose 01: low power (+1 dBm), high gain (19 dB), low frequency (dc to 1.2 GHz 3 dB bandwidth), moderate noise figure (5.5 dB) 02: moderate power (+4 dBm), medium gain (12 dB), moderate frequency (dc to 2.5 GHz 3 dB bandwidth), moderate noise figure (6.5 dB)
