- MAAM-011238 is well suited for 5G Test and Measurement instrumentation scaling to millimeterwave (mmW) frequencies
- Positive gate bias eliminates the need for a negative voltage
- MACOM’s new wideband amplifier is available to customers today in DIE and packaged versions for maximum assembly flexibility
LOWELL, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — 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. (Photo: Business Wire)
