High Power Added Efficiency: 22% Typ. 50 Ω Input/Output Broadband Matched Lead-Free Ceramic Bolt Down Package RoHS* Compliant and 260°C Reflow Compatible Rev. V4 Functional Schematic Description M/A-COM’s AM42-0041 is a four-stage MMIC linear power amplifier in a lead-free, ceramic bolt down style hermetic package. The AM42-0041 employs a fully matched chip with internally decoupled Gate and Drain bias networks. The AM42-0041 is designed to be operated from a constant current Drain supply. By varying the Gate bias voltage, the saturated output power performance of this device can be tailored for various applications. The AM42-0041 is ideally suited for use as an output stage or driver, in applications for VSAT systems. This design is fully monolithic and requires a minimum of external components. M/A-COM’s AM42-0041 is fabricated using a mature 0.5 micron 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.

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. Case Temperature (TC) = +85°C 4. Nominal bias is obtained by first connecting -2.4 volts to pin 5 or pin 6 (VGG), followed by connecting +8 volts to pin 1 or pin 10 (VDD). Note sequence. Adjust VGG for a drain current of 500 mA typical. 5. RF ground and thermal interface is the flange (case bottom). Adequate heat sinking is required. 6. No DC bias voltage appears at the RF ports. 7. No DC resistance at the input and output ports is a short circuit. No voltage is allowed on these ports. 8. For optimum IP3 performance, the VDD bypass capacitors should be placed within 0.5 inches of the VDD leads. 2 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 / Fax: 978.366.2266 is considering for development.
