RoHS Compliant GaAs MMIC VSAT Power Amplifier, 2.0 W 5.9 - 6.4 GHz Features • • • • • • High Linear Gain: 30 dB Typical High Saturated Output Power: +33 dBm Typ. High Power Added Efficiency: 26% Typ. 50 Ω Input/Output Broadband Matched Lead-Free Ceramic Bolt Down Package RoHS* Compliant and 260°C Reflow Compatible AM42-0040 V3 Functional Schematic N/C GND VDD GND Description M/A-COM’s AM42-0040 is a three-stage MMIC power amplifier in a lead-free, ceramic bolt down style hermetic package. The AM42-0040 employs an internally matched monolithic chip with internally decoupled Gate and Drain bias networks. The AM42-0040 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 AM42-0040 is designed for use as an output stage or driver amplifier for C-band VSAT transmitter systems. This amplifier employs a fully monolithic chip and requires a minimum of external components. M/A-COM’s AM42-0040 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.

M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. Case Temperature (TC) = +25°C. 4. Nominal bias is obtained by first connecting -2.4 volts to pin 5 (VGG), followed by connection +9 volts to pin 10 (VDD). Note sequence. Adjust VGG for a drain current of 1050 mA typical. RF ground and thermal interface is the flange (case bottom). Adequate heat sinking is required. No DC bias voltage appears at the RF ports. For optimum IP3 performance, the VDD bypass capacitors should be placed within 0.5 inches of the VDD leads. Resistor and capacitors surrounding the amplifier are suggestions and not included as part of the AM42-0040. 5. 6. 7. 8. 2 M/A-COM Inc. and its affiliates reserve the right to make changes to the product(s) or information contained herein without notice.
