NE32684A

ULTRA LOW NOISE PSEUDOMORPHIC HJ FET NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN NE32684A FEATURES • VERY LOW NOISE FIGURE: 0.5 dB typical at 12 GHz Noise Figure, NF (dB) 1.2 NOISE FIGURE & ASSOCIATED GAIN vs. FREQUENCY VDS = 2 V, IDS = 10 mA 24 GA • LG = 0.20 µm, WG = 200 µm • LOW COST METAL CERAMIC PACKAGE • TAPE & REEL PACKAGING OPTION AVAILABLE 0.8 18 0.6 15 0.4 NF 0.2 12 DESCRIPTION The NE32684A is a pseudomorphic Hetero-Junction FET that uses the junction between Si-doped AlGaAs and undoped InGaAs to create very high mobility electrons. The device features mushroom shaped TiAl gates for decreased gate resistance and improved power handling capabilities. The mushroom gate also results in lower noise figure and high associated gain. This device is housed in an epoxy-sealed, metal/ceramic package and is intended for high volume consumer and industrial applications. NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures assure the highest reliability and performance. 9 0 1 10 30 6 Frequency, f (GHz) ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (TA = 25°C) PART NUMBER PACKAGE OUTLINE SYMBOLS NF 1 NE32684A 84AS UNITS dB dB dBm dBm dB dB mA V mS µA °C/W °C/W 15 -2.0 45 10.0 MIN TYP 0.5 11.5 8.5 10.75 11.0 11.5 40 -0.8 60 0.5 750 350 10.0 70 -0.2 MAX 0.6 PARAMETERS AND CONDITIONS Optimum Noise Figure, VDS = 2 V, IDS = 10 mA, f = 12 GHz Associated Gain, VDS = 2 V, IDS = 10 mA, f = 12 GHz Output Power at 1 dB Gain Compression Point, f = 12 GHz VDS = 2 V, IDS = 10 mA VDS = 2 V, IDS = 20 mA Gain at P1dB, f = 12 GHz, VDS = 2 V, IDS = 10 mA VDS = 2 V, IDS = 20 mA Saturated Drain Current, VDS = 2 V,VGS = 0 V Pinch-off Voltage, VDS = 2 V, IDS = 100 µA Transconductance, VDS = 2 V, ID = 10 mA Gate to Source Leakage Current, VGS = -3 V Thermal Resistance (Channel to Ambient) Thermal Resistance (Channel to Case) G A1 P1dB G1dB IDSS VP gm IGSO RTH (CH-A) RTH (CH-C) Note: 1. Typical values of noise figures and associated gain are those obtained when 50% of the devices from a large number of lots were individually measured in a circuit with the input individually tuned to obtain the minimum value. Maximum values are criteria established on the production line as a "go-no-go" screening tuned for the "generic" type but not for each specimen.
