Description
The MAAL-010528 is a high performance X-band
GaAs LNA, housed in a miniature, lead-free 3 mm
RFIN 3 10 RFOUT
PQFN surface mount plastic package. This MMIC

operates from 8 to 12 GHz providing a nominal gain N/C 4 9 N/C
of 20 dB with excellent gain flatness, high OIP3
linearity of 26 dBm, and a mid-band noise figure of 5 6 7 8
1.6 dB. The part features a self-bias architecture
VG1 N/C VG2 N/C
which requires only a single, positive supply.
The device is internally matched to 50 Ω input/ Pin Configuration
