applications. It can be used as either a driver or an
output stage amplifier. This device is fully matched
input and output to 50 Ω which eliminates any
sensitive external RF tuning components.
The device is packaged in a lead free 10-lead
flanged package for high volume manufacturing.
The MAAP-010169 is fabricated using a high
reliability pHEMT process, to realize good power
added efficiency and gain. The pHEMT process
features full passivation for high performance and
reliability.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
* Restrictions on Hazardous Substances,
European Union Directive 2002/95/EC.
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.
