MACOM’s new wideband amplifier is available to customers today in DIE and packaged versions for maximum assembly flexibility
Lowell, Massachusetts, June 3, 2019– MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions, today announced a new wideband distributed amplifier with the introduction of the MAAM-011238, offered in both bare-DIE and Surface Mount packaged formats. Well suited for use in 5G test and measurement (T&M) equipment, the MAAM-011238 gives system designers the agility to leverage a single amplifier for 5G applications spanning sub-6 GHz to mmW frequencies.
The MAAM-011238 amplifier supports wideband operation from 100 kHz up to 50 GHz (67.5 GHz for the Bare-DIE version) with typical gain of 14 dB at 30 GHz. The input and output are fully matched at 50 Ω with typical return loss of 10 dB across the band. The overall ease of use for customers is enhanced utilizing a positive gate bias, thereby eliminating the need for a negative voltage supply and bias sequencer. The MAAM-011238’s integrated power detector further simplifies system designs while preserving valuable board space.
The MAAM-011238 aims to deliver an effective broadband amplifier solution for 5G sub-6 GHz to mmW testing. The MAAM-011238 and MAAM-011238-DIE are available to customers today. MACOM will showcase its RF portfolio at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2019, Booth #532 in Boston, MA, U.S.A., June 4th – 6th. MACOM’s booth will feature new product solutions optimized for 5G, wireless basestations, radar, T&M and industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications. To make an appointment, contact your local sales representative. For more information about MACOM’s RF technology solutions, please visit: www.macom.com.
