HMC392

HMC392 v02.0907 GaAs MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 3.5 - 7.0 GHz 1 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS - CHIP Typical Applications The HMC392 is ideal for: • Point-to-Point Radios • VSAT • LO Driver for HMC Mixers • Military EW, ECM, C I • Space 3 Features Gain: 15.5 dB Noise Figure: 2.4 dB Single Supply Voltage: +5V 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output No External Components Required Small Size: 1.3 x 1.0 x 0.1 mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC392 is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier die which operates between 3.5 and 7.0 GHz. The amplifier provides 15.5 dB of gain, 2.4 dB noise figure, and 28 dBm IP3 from a +5V supply voltage. The HMC392 has six bonding adjustment options which allow the user to select the bias point and output power of the device (+15 to +18 dBm). The HMC392 amplifier can easily be integrated into Multi-ChipModules (MCMs) due to its small (1.3 mm2) size. All data is with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31mm (12 mils).

PS4 and PS8 bonded to ground. Handling Precautions Follow these precautions to avoid permanent damage. Storage: All bare die are placed in either Waffle or Gel based ESD protective containers, and then sealed in an ESD protective bag for shipment. Once the sealed ESD protective bag has been opened, all die should be stored in a dry nitrogen environment. Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems. Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against ESD strikes. Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up. General Handling: Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the chip has fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or fingers. Mounting The chip is back-metallized and can be die mounted with AuSn eutectic preforms or with electrically conductive epoxy. The mounting surface should be clean and fl at. Eutectic Die Attach: A 80/20 gold tin preform is recommended with a work surface temperature of 255 °C and a tool temperature of 265 °C. When hot 90/10 nitrogen/hydrogen gas is applied, tool tip temperature should be 290 °C. DO NOT expose the chip to a temperature greater than 320 °C for more than 20 seconds. No more than 3 seconds of scrubbing should be required for attachment. Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer’s schedule. Wire Bonding Ball or wedge bond with 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of 150 °C and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use the minimum level of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the package or substrate. All bonds should be as short as possible
