Description

M/A-Coms MAAP-008171 is an unmatched high power GaAs pHEMT which exhibits high gain and linearity performance in a lead-free 4mm PQFN 16- Lead surface mount plastic package. This part is tunable over a frequency range from 600 MHz to 4000 MHz making it ideal many linear applications such as CDMA, WCDMA, and WiMax. This part can achieve 27 dBm /30 dBm Linear Pout when measured for 802.16d (EVM < 2.5%) when operated @ 12V. It also contains a thermally coupled reference transistor to allow simple current mirror biasing. The MAAP-008171 is fabricated using a high reliability GaAs PHEMT process to realize low current and high power functionality. The process features full passivation for increased performance and reliability.
