1.5-6.0 GHz GaAs MMIC Packaged Driver Amplifier
January 2008 - Rev 28-Jan-08
CMM2000-QT Features
13 dB Gain 14 dBm P1dB 3x3 QFN Package Single Positve Supply 5-8 V, 35 mA Self Bias RF Choke Inductors Integrated On-Chip RoHS Compliant
Circuit Description
Mimix Broadband’s 2 stage 1.5 to 6.0 GHz driver amplifier is packaged in an RoHS compliant surface mount 3x3 QFN package. The device is a self-biased, single supply design with 13 dB gain and 14 dBm P1dB. This MMIC uses Mimix Broadband’s 0.5um MESFET process. The device is fully matched, and RF choke inductors are integrated on-chip, so there is no need for external matching components, and it can be directly cascaded. Care must be taken to isolate the input and output from external DC voltages.
Absolute Maximum Ratings

CMM2000-QT Handling and Assembly Information
CAUTION! - Mimix Broadband MMIC Products contain gallium arsenide (GaAs) which can be hazardous to the human
body and the environment. For safety, observe the following procedures: Do not ingest. Do not alter the form of this product into a gas, powder, or liquid through burning, crushing, or chemical processing as these by-products are dangerous to the human body if inhaled, ingested, or swallowed. Observe government laws and company regulations when discarding this product. This product must be discarded in accordance with methods specified by applicable hazardous waste procedures.
Life Support Policy - Mimix Broadband's products are not authorized for use as critical components in life support devices or systems without the express written approval of the President and General Counsel of Mimix Broadband. As used herein: (1) Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b) support or sustain life, and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a significant injury to the user. (2) A critical component is any component of a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its safety or effectiveness. Package Attachment - This packaged product from Mimix Broadband is provided as a rugged surface mount package
compatible with high volume solder installation. Care should be taken not to apply heavy pressure to the top or base material to avoid package damage. Vacuum tools or other suitable pick and place equipment may be used to pick and place this part. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder connection so that good RF, DC and ground connections are maintained. Voids or gaps can eventually lead not only to RF performance degradation, but reduced reliability and life of the product due to thermal stress.
Mimix Lead-Free RoHS Compliant Program - Mimix has an active program in place to meet customer and governmental
requirements for eliminating lead (Pb) and other environmentally hazardous materials from our products. All Mimix RoHS compliant components are form, fit and functional replacements for their non-RoHS equivalents. Lead plating of our RoHS compliant parts is 100% matte tin (Sn) over copper alloy and is backwards compatible with current standard SnPb low-temperature reflow processes as well as higher temperature (260°C reflow) “Pb Free” processes.
