Description

The MMA036AA is a seven stage traveling wave amplifier. The amplifier features Microsemi PLFX (Passive Low Frequency eXtension) circuitry designed

to reduce the integration cost of the amplifier.

PLFX isolates the amplifier from bias

inductor resonances, allowing use

of a less-expensive coil.

Application

The MMA036AA Broadband MMIC Low-Noise Amplifier with PLFX is designed for high efficiency and low-noise broadband applications in RF and microwave communications, test equipment and

military systems. By using specific external components, the bandwidth of operation can be extended below 40MHz.
