High Power Added Efficiency: 25% Typ. 50 Ω Input / Output Broadband Matched Integrated Output Power Detector Lead-Free Bolt Down Ceramic Package RoHS* Compliant and 260°C Reflow Compatible Rev. V5 Functional Schematic V DD GND V DD GND Description The AM42-0039 is a three stage MMIC power amplifier in a lead-free, bolt down ceramic package, allowing easy assembly. This device employs a fully matched chip with internally decoupled gate and drain bias networks. The device is designed to operate from a constant current drain supply or a constant voltage gate supply. By varying the bias conditions, the saturated output power performance of this device may be tailored for various applications. The AM42-0039 is ideally suited for use as an output stage or a driver amplifier in VSAT systems. The AM42-0039 includes internal supply line bypassing in the package, minimizing the number of external components required. The AM42-0039 is fabricated using a mature 0.5 micron MBE based GaAs MESFET process. The process features full passivation for increased performance and reliability. This product is 100% RF tested to ensure compliance to performance specifications.

Please handle with care. To operate the device, follow these steps. 1. Apply -2.0 Volts to VGG. 2. Ramp VDD to +8V. 3. Adjust VGG to set quiescent drain current . 4. Apply RF. 5. Power down in reverse sequence. Turn gate voltage off last. 1. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 2. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. 3. Adequate heat sinking and grounding required on flange base. Handling Procedures Please observe the following precautions to avoid damage: 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 devices. 2 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 • Europe Tel: +353.21.244.6400 is considering for development.
