The MAAL-011134 is a high dynamic range, single  
stage MMIC LNA designed to operate from  
700 MHz – 6 GHz assembled in a lead-free 2 mm  
8-LD PDFN plastic package. This amplifier has ultra  
low noise figure, high gain and excellent linearity. In  
the 50
Ω
environment and at 3 V, this device offers  
less than 0.5 dB noise figure at 2.4 GHz, with 24 dB  
of gain and over 33 dBm OIP3.

This low noise amplifier has an integrated active  
bias circuit allowing direct connection to 3 V or 5 V  
bias and minimizing variations over temperature and  
process. The bias current is set by an external  
resistor, so the user can customize the power  
consumption to fit the application. V

can be  
utilized as an enable pin to power the device up and

This MAAL-011134 is ideally suited for 802.11  
multimode applications at 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.  
The high gain, low noise figure and fast switching  
speed make it ideal for 4 x 4 MIMO 802.11ac  
applications.  
3. MACOM
 
recommends connecting all No Connection (N/C)  
pins to ground.  
4. The
 
exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be  
connected to RF, DC and thermal ground.

MAAL-011134  
Low Noise Amplifier  
700 MHz – 6 GHz  
Rev. V6  
2.3 – 2.7 GHz
 
Application Section  
The MAAL-011134 is designed to work as a low  
noise gain block over a wide range of frequencies in  
a 50
Ω
environment.  
Evaluation Board, 2.3 – 2.7 GHz  
Input and output can be tuned to improve return loss  
over a specific frequency band.  
The evaluation board shown has been designed for  
tuning flexibility.
 
The parts list on page 16 details  
the components needed to tune the MAAL-011134  
for operation from 2.3 – 2.7 GHz.
