Richardson RFPD Introduces New 1 W Driver Amplifier with VG Enable from MACOM


0.1 - 3.0 GHz 2-stage amplifier with typical gain of 23 dB and up to 40% power added efficiency



Geneva, Ill.: Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced today the availability and full design support capabilities for a new 1 W driver amplifier from MACOM Technology Solutions Inc.



The MAAP-011232 is a 2-stage power amplifier with gain shut-off. It operates from 100 MHz to 3 GHz; for operation in the 100 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range no I/O matching is required. Internal DC blocking is provided at the input, while the RF output port is DC-coupled through an external bias-tee. Bias current, RF gain and output power are controlled with a gate supply voltage. Typical current consumption is less than 300 mA at maximum output power. The new amplifier is fabricated using a high breakdown GaAs process that features full passivation for increased performance and reliability.



The MAAP-011232 is suitable for power and driver amplifier requirements for multiple applications, including land mobile radio, military communications, sensors and telemetry, test and measurement, and satellite communications.



Additional key specifications of the MAAP-011232 include:


  • Gain: 23 dB


  • P1dB: +29 dBm


  • PSAT: +30 dBm


  • PAE at PSAT: 40%


  • OIP3: +40 dBm


  • Typical bias conditions: 9 V, 265 mA


  • 3 mm x 3 mm 16-lead PQFN plastic package
