Description
The MAAP-011027 is a 2-stage, 8 W saturated
C-band power amplifier in a 5 mm 20 lead PQFN
package, allowing for easy assembly. This product
is fully matched to 50 ohms on both the input and
output. It can be used as a power amplifier stage or
as a driver stage in high power pulsed applications.
Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure
performance compliance.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Input Power
28 dBm
Supply Voltage
11 V
Junction Temperature7
+150 °C
Operating Temperature
-40°C to +85°C
Storage Temperature
-55°C to +150°C
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these class 1A
devices.
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
6. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * (V * I)
Typical CW thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 7.7°C/W

8. Average dissipated power: PDISS = PDC + PIN - POUT (all powers
are average in Watts)
9. Average power is integrated over pulse period, for short pulses
(not exceeding pulse width of 100 µs), average power can be
approximated as PAVERAGE = PPEAK*D, where D is duty cycle.
10.For pulses wider than 100 µs self heating during pulse reduces
allowable average dissipated power.
