MSA-0786-TR1G datasheet by Avago Technologies

MSA-0786-TR1G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the MSA-0786-TR1G?
  A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. The device should be placed near the center of the board, and the RF traces should be kept short and away from digital signals.
• How do I ensure the MSA-0786-TR1G is properly biased for optimal performance?
  The device requires a single 5V power supply, and the recommended biasing is Vdd = 5V, Vgg = 2.5V, and Vss = 0V. Ensure that the power supply is clean and well-regulated to prevent noise and oscillations.
• What is the maximum power handling capability of the MSA-0786-TR1G?
  The device can handle up to 2W of RF power, but it's recommended to derate the power handling to 1W or less to ensure reliable operation and prevent overheating.
• How do I match the impedance of the MSA-0786-TR1G to my system?
  The device has an input impedance of 50 ohms, and it's recommended to use a pi-network or a T-network to match the impedance to your system. The matching network should be designed to provide a return loss of at least 15 dB.
• What is the operating temperature range of the MSA-0786-TR1G?
  The device is specified to operate from -40°C to +85°C, but it's recommended to operate it within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C for optimal performance and reliability.
