Description
The MAAL-009053 broadband gain block is a GaAs
MMIC amplifier in a lead-free SC70-6LD (SOT-363)
surface mount plastic package. The topology is a
monolithic single stage self-biased design featuring
a convenient 50 Ω input / output impedance that
minimizes the number of external components.
The MAAL-009053 is fabricated using a pHEMT
process to help realize the complementary high IP3
and low NF. This process features full passivation
for performance and reliability.

4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
6. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = Case Temperature (TC) + ӨJC*V*I)
Typical thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 131°C/W
a) For TC = +25°C,
TJ = 56°C @ 3 V, 80 mA
b) For TC = +85°C,
TJ = 116°C @ 3 V, 80 mA
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these HBM class 1A
devices.
