Data Sheet
Applications
The MMA-062020-C3 is a GaAS PHEMT amplifier designed for Class-A condition, flat gain performance from
6GHz to 22GHz. It is applicable for cascadable gain stage for EW amplifiers, buffer stages, LO drivers, and
transmitter amplifiers used in commercial communication systems. This amplifier is provided as a 3x3mm QFN
package, and the packaged amplifier is fully compatible with industry standard high volume surface mount PCB
assembly processes.
Biasing and Operation
The MMA-062020-C3 is normally biased with a single positive supply voltage connected to both Vd1 and Vd2
pins. The recommended drain supply voltages are 3 to 6 volts. RF input and output ports are DC decoupled
internally. Typical DC supply connection with bi-passing capacitors for the MMA-062020-C3 is shown in
following pages.
Assembly Techniques
GaAs MMICs are ESD sensitive. ESD preventive measures must be employed in all aspects of storage,
handling, and assembly. MMIC ESD precautions, handling considerations, die attach and bonding methods are
critical factors in successful GaAs MMIC performance and reliability.
