MAAL-011186-DIE

Product Overview

MAAL-011186-DIE is a MACOM low-noise amplifier MMIC from MACOM Technology Solutions. In an RF design it is normally used as a receiver front-end LNA / low-noise gain stage, so the useful sourcing checks are not only the ordering code but also the operating band, gain behavior, output level, package footprint and bias conditions.

For this model, the key application data to verify are: model-specific microwave/RF band; MAAL families include broadband LNAs from sub-GHz to microwave bands; low noise figure, gain and OIP3 are exact-model datasheet values; and 3 V / 5 V class MMIC bias depending on model. Because RF amplifier parts are layout- and matching-sensitive, MAAL-011186-DIE should be treated as an exact-BOM item unless the replacement has been validated with the same matching network, thermal design and control conditions.
