Microstrip Package
microstrip package. This MMIC is
designed for use as a general
purpose 50
Ω
gain block. Typical
applications include narrow and
broad band IF and RF amplifiers
in industrial and military applica-
tions.
The MSA-series is fabricated using
HP’s 10 GHz f
T
, 25 GHz f
MAX
,
silicon bipolar MMIC process
which uses nitride self-alignment,
ion implantation, and gold metalli-
zation to achieve excellent
performance, uniformity and
reliability. The use of an external
bias resistor for temperature and
current stability also allows bias
flexibility.

> 157°C.
4. Storage above +150°C may tarnish the leads of this package making it
difficult to solder into a circuit.
5. Ths small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though more
accurate determination of
θ
jc
than do alternate methods. See MEASURE-
MENTS section “Thermal Resistance” for more information.
