MACOM expands MMIC portfolio with 1W power amplifier

The MAAP-011232 features a typical gain of 23 dB and up 40% power added efficiency. The device can be operated between 5 to 9V and consumes less than 300mA at maximum output power of 1W. The MAAP-011232 device is fully matched while operating in the 100MHz to 1GHz frequency range and can be tuned with input matched to perform up to 3GHz. The device is offered in a 3mm 16 lead PQFN plastic package.

“The MAAP-011232 was designed to offer customers excellent power and drive performance over a broad frequency range,” said Paul Beasly, Product Manager, RF and Microwave, MACOM. “The high gain and enable function can replace the need for additional gain blocks and/or attenuators in customers’ systems, which makes the device an ideal candidate for applications that require a small footprint and surface-mount solution.”
