Wideband Distributed Amplifier  
30 kHz – 50 GHz  
MAAM-011275  
Rev. V1  
Operating Conditions  
2 bypass capacitors of 100 pF and 1 µF should be  
connected to V

DAUX

. This provides for improved gain  
flatness below 2 GHz down to 30 kHz when  
required.  
The recommended biasing conditions are V

DD

= 7 V  
and I

DSQ

= 200 mA, with I

DSQ

set by adjusting V

G1  

after correctly setting V

DD

(refer to turn on  
sequence). To maintain the best performance  
MACOM recommends using an active bias circuit for  
constant I

DD

.  
The 100 pF capacitor can be a single layer capacitor  
or an SMT device on the PCB. Although it should be  
positioned as closely to the device as practically  
possible, the frequency response is not particularly  
sensitive to this. The 1
μ
F capacitor can be placed  
further away on the PCB.  
It is noted that any biasing arrangement used,  
including active biasing, must be able to source at  
least 10 mA into the V

G1

port. This is because the  
V

G1

port contains a resistive divider with a total  
resistance to ground of 244
Ω.
For the  
recommended I

DSQ

of 200 mA obtained at a V

G1  

voltage of around 2.5 V, 10 mA of V

G1

current (I

G1

) is  
expected. These values of V

G1

and I

G1

will vary  
slightly between devices.  
Data in this datasheet was measured using 100 pF  
(C1) and 1 µF (C3) capacitors on V

DAUX  

.
For biasing V

DD

, apply V

DD

through a bias tee  
connected to the RF

OUT

/V

DD

port and connect an  
external DC block to the RF

IN

port. This provides  
wide band performance of 40 MHz to 50 GHz  
(depending on the bandwidth of the bias tee).
