Description
The XX1000-QT is a 7.5 - 22.5 / 15.0 - 45.0 GHz
SMD active doubler that delivers +18 dBm of output
power. The device combines an active doubler with
an output buffer amplifier that delivers constant
power over a range of input powers. The device has
excellent rejection of the fundamental and harmonic
products.
This device uses MACOM’s 0.15 GaAs pHEMT
device model technology to ensure high reliability
and uniformity. The device comes in a lead-free
3 mm QFN surface mount plastic package offering
excellent RF and thermal properties and is RoHS
compliant.

MTTF is calculated from accelerated life-time data of single devices and
assumes isothermal back-plate.
Bias Conditions: VD1,2 = 5 V, ID1,2 = 220 mA, VSS = -5 V, ISS = 50 mA
App Note [1] Biasing It is recommended to separately bias each doubler stage with fixed voltages of V D(1,2) = 5 V, VSS = -5 V and
VG1=-0.6 V. The typical DC currents are ID1 = 80 mA, ID2 = 140 mA and ISS = 50 mA. VG2 can be used for active
control biasing of VD2, or it can be set to GND and VD2 will self bias at approximately 140 mA. Maximum output
power is achieved with VSS = -5 V and ISS = 50 mA but the device will operate with reduced bias to VSS = -2 V and
ISS = 25 mA. It is also recommended to use active biasing on V D2 with VG2 to keep the currents constant as the
RF power and temperature vary; this gives the most reproducible results. Depending on the supply voltage
available and the power dissipation constraints, the bias circuit may be a single transistor or a low power
operational amplifier, with a low value resistor in series with the drain supply used to sense the current. The gate
of the pHEMT is controlled to maintain correct drain current and thus drain voltage. The typical gate voltage for
VG2 = -0.1 V. Typically the gate is protected with silicon diodes to limit the applied voltage. Also, make sure to
sequence the applied voltage to ensure negative gate bias is available before applying the positive drain supply.
