Description
M/A-COM's MAAMSS0001 is a GaAs
PHEMT MMIC amplifier in a surface mount
SOICN 16 package. The MMIC design
is configured as a pair of cascode PHEMT
amplifiers for broadband performance. It
is designed for integration in a 75-ohm
push-pull low distortion amplifier circuit.
The device is ideally suited for use in
CATV, DBS, and DTV applications where
low noise figure, low distortion and high
linearity are required.

Handling Procedures
The following precautions should be observed to
avoid damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are
sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and
can be damaged by static electricity. Proper
ESD control techniques should be used when
handling these devices.
