ATF-25170

0.5 – 10 GHz Low Noise Gallium Arsenide FET Technical Data ATF-25170 Features • Low Noise Figure: 0.8 dB Typical at 4 GHz • High Associated Gain: 14.0 dB Typical at 4 GHz • High Output Power: 21.0 dBm Typical P 1 dB at 4 GHz • Hermetic Gold-Ceramic Microstrip Package housed in a hermetic, high reliability package. Its noise figure makes this device appropriate for use in low noise amplifiers operating in the 0.5-10 GHz frequency range. This GaAs FET device has a nominal 0.3 micron gate length using airbridge interconnects between drain fingers. Total gate periphery is 500 microns. Proven gold based metallization systems and nitride passivation assure a rugged, reliable device. 70 mil Package Description The ATF-25170 is a high performance gallium arsenide Schottkybarrier-gate field effect transistor Electrical Specifications, TA = 25°C Symbol NFO Parameters and Test Conditions Optimum Noise Figure: VDS = 3 V, IDS = 20 mA f = 4.0 GHz f = 6 0 GHz f = 8.0 GHz f = 4.0 GHz f = 6.0 GHz f = 8.0 GHz f = 4.0 GHz f = 4.0 GHz Units dB dB dB dB dB dB dBm dB mmho mA V 50 50 -3.0 Min.

Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. 2. TMOUNTING SURFACE = 25°C. 3. Derate at 3.3 mW/°C for TMOUNTING SURFACE >40°C. 4. The small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though more accurate determination of θjc than do alternate methods. See MEASUREMENTS section for more information.
