MACOM
Technology Solutions Inc. ("MACOM"), today introduced the
MAAL-011141-DIE. Next generation test and measurement systems require
higher performance wideband components offering ease of use and smaller
footprints to allow for smaller modular solutions that accelerate time
to market. MACOM's wideband low noise amplifier, operating from DC to 28
GHz, is an ideal solution to meet these test and measurement
requirements.
For over 60 years, MACOM's design and applications experts have
spearheaded innovation in the RF, microwave and millimeterwave domain.
Proven engineering and application support teams are continuing in this
legacy with the next generation of wideband MMIC solutions designed for
the most demanding customer applications.
The MAAL-011141-DIE
offers low noise figure across the full frequency range enabling signal
integrity for wideband applications such as test and measurement and
mission critical aerospace and defense. Requiring positive voltage only,
the MAAL-011141-DIE eliminates the need for a negative voltage supply,
allowing for fewer components and supply rails thus simplifying the
design burden for customers. In addition, this low noise amplifier has a
variable bias voltage, offering customers greater versatility to
tradeoff between linearity and power consumption. The input and the
output of the MAAL-011141 are fully matched to 50 Ω with a typical
return loss >15 dB. Through innovative design techniques, this amplifier
achieves a lower noise figure compared to alternative options,
particularly at lower frequency ranges.
"The combination of flat gain, low noise figure performance and fully
matched operation makes this device ideal for demanding test and
measurement applications. The positive bias supply and variable bias
voltage make the device highly versatile for many other applications,"
said Paul Beasly, Product Manager, at MACOM. "The MAAL-011141-DIE will
also be released in a 5 mm QFN package and is part of a new family of
next generation MACOM wideband amplifiers."
