Electrical Specifications
1. Small/Large -signal data measured in a fully de-embedded test fixture form TA = 25°C.
2. Pre-assembly into package performance verified 100% on-wafer per AMMC-6120 published specifications.
3. This final package part performance is verified by a functional test correlated to actual performance at one or more
frequencies.
4. Specifications are derived from measurements in a 50 Ω test environment. Aspects of the amplifier performance may
be improved over a more narrow bandwidth by application of additional conjugate, linearity, or low noise (Гopt)
matching.

Note:
1. Assume SnPb soldering to an evaluation RF board at 85 °C base plate temperatures. Worst case is at saturated output power when DC power
consumption rises to 5.24W with 0.9W RF power delivered to load. Power dissipation is 4.34W and the temperature rise in the channel is 72.9 °C. In
this condition, the base plate temperature must be remained below 82.1 °C to maintain maximum operating channel temperature below 155 °C.

Biasing and Operation.
Recommended quiescent DC bias condition for optimum
power and linearity performances is Vd=5 volts with
Vg (-1V) set for Id=450 mA. Minor improvements in
performance are possible depending on the application.
The drain bias voltage range is 3 to 5V. A single DC gate
supply connected to Vg will bias all gain stages. Muting
can be accomplished by setting Vg to the pinch-off
voltage Vp (-2V).

A typical DC biasing connection is shown in Figure 17.
Vg and Vd can be biased from either side. The RF input
port is connected internally to ground; therefore, an input
decoupling capacitor is needed if the preceding output
stage has DC present. The RF output is DC decoupled
internally. No ground wired are needed since ground
connections are made with plated through-holes to the
backside of the device.

Note: No RF performance degradation is seen due to ESD up to 150V
HBM and 40V MM. The DC characteristics in general show increased
leakage at higher ESD discharge voltages. The user is reminded that this
device is ESD sensitive and needs to be handled with all necessary ESD
protocols.
