MA/COM introduces GaAs based LNA for 22-38 GHz applications
The low noise figure, and high gain amplifier is suited to in receiver applications
M/A-COM Technology Solution has launched a new three-stage low noise amplifier for point to point applications.
The MAAL-011111 is a low noise amplifier covering 22 - 38GHz in a small and low cost 3 x 3 mm QFN package. It offers 19dB of gain and less than 3dB of noise figure.

The LNA is self-biased requiring only a single 3.3V voltage supply and there is no need for any external components. It is claimed to be easy to implement and takes up a small board area. The high gain and low noise figure makes it well suited as a first stage LNA in receiver applications covering multiple bands simultaneously.
"The MAAL-011111 offers excellent performance across the full band up to 38GHz in a small fully molded QFN package,” says Amer Droubi, Product Manager, MACOM. “The low noise amplifier has an integrated ESD protection and by-pass capacitors and requires a single positive bias supply, making it an idea low cost and easy to implement solution for a wide range of applications.”
The table below outlines typical performance:

Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
Take control with Nel on-site hydrogen generation.
