At the virtual International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2020, MACOM introduced two new wideband MMIC power amplifier products - MAAM-011277-DIE and MAAM-011291-DIE. The two devices can be used as driver or power amplifiers for Microwave Communications, Test and Measurement, Aerospace & Defense, and Multi-Market application.
MAAM-011277-DIE Features
- The MAAM-011277-DIE is a 4-stage, 0.25 W power amplifier 2.5 x 1.15 mm MMIC die.
- This product is fabricated using a GaAs pHEMT process which features full passivation for enhanced reliability.
- This power amplifier operates from 20 to 45 GHz and provides 22 dB of linear gain, 0.25 W at P1dB compression, and 17% efficiency (P3) while biased at 5 V.
- This device can be used as a driver amplifier ideally suited for the various operational band between 20 GHz and 45 GHz.

MAAM-011291-DIE Features
- The MAAM-011291-DIE is a 4-stage, 1 W power amplifier MMIC die.
- This product is fabricated using a GaAs pHEMT process which features full passivation for enhanced reliability.
- This power amplifier operates from 20 to 45 GHz and provides 19 dB of linear gain, 1 W at P3dB compression, and 15% efficiency at P3dB while biased at 5 V.
- This device can be used as a power amplifier ideally suited for 5G systems and test and measurement applications in the 20 to 45 GHz range.
- All data is taken with the chip connected via three 1 mil diameter gold bond wires that are each approximately 350 um long.
