It is a costeffective alternative in commercial communications systems to discrete FET hybrid or MIC amplifiers. The MMIC has a partial input and output match to 50Ω (-5dB typical return loss) but can be easily externally matched by single element lossy or reactive means (inductor or capacitor) for 20% frequency coverage (or 100% coverage if used in a balance configuration with Lange coupler) The MMIC is unconditionally stable over all frequencies and bias conditions. Bias can be applied from either side. Gate voltage is set using the Vg pin to optimize for linear or saturated power amplification. A reference and output detector allows differential output power detection over 15 dB of range. It is fabricated in a PHEMT process to provide exceptional power and gain performance.

The PCB material and mounting pattern, as defined in the data sheet, optimizes RF performance and is strongly recommended. An electronic drawing of the land pattern is available from www.agilent.com/view/rf or upon request from Agilent Application Engineering. Manual Assembly for Prototypes 1. 2. 3. Follow ESD precautions while handling packages. Handling should be along the edges with tweezers or from topside if using a vacuum collet. Recommended attachment is solder paste. Please see recommended solder reflow profile. Conductive epoxy is not recommended. Hand soldering is not recommended. Apply solder paste using either a stencil printer or dot placement. The volume of solder paste will be dependent on PCB and component layout and should be controlled to ensure consistent mechanical and electrical performance. Excessive solder will degrade RF performance. Follow solder paste and vendor’s recommendations when developing a solder reflow profile. A standard profile will have a steady ramp up from room temperature to the preheat temperature to avoid damage due to thermal shock. Packages have been qualified to withstand a peak temperature of 235°C for 15 seconds. Verify that the profile will not expose device beyond these limits. Clean off flux per vendor’s recommendations. Clean the module with Acetone. Rinse with alcohol. Allow the module to fully dry before testing. Temperature ( °C) 225 175 125 75 25 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 TIME (minutes) 4.
