CMPA5585025D

CMPA5585025D 25 W, 5.5 - 8.5 GHz, GaN MMIC, Power Amplifier Cree’s CMPA5585025D is a gallium nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) based monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). GaN has superior properties compared to silicon or gallium arsenide, including higher breakdown voltage, higher saturated electron drift velocity and higher thermal conductivity. GaN HEMTs also offer greater power density and wider bandwidths compared to Si and GaAs transistors. This MMIC contains a two-stage reactively matched amplifier design approach enabling very wide bandwidths to be achieved.

VD = 28 V. – 1 10 RF-Out RF-Output pad. Matched to 50 ohm. 150 x 150 3 Notes: 1 Attach bypass capacitor to pads 2-9 per application circuit. 2 VG1_A and VG1_B are connected internally so it would be enough to connect either one for proper operation. 3 VG2_A and VG2_B are connected internally so it would be enough to connect either one for proper operation. 4 The RF Input and Output pad have a ground-signal-ground with a nominal pitch of 8 mil (200 um). The RF ground pads are 100 x 200. Die Assembly Notes: • Recommended solder is AuSn (80/20) solder. Refer to Cree’s website for the Eutectic Die Bond Procedure application note at http://www.cree.com/products/wireless_appnotes.asp • • • • • • Vacuum collet is the preferred method of pick-up. The backside of the die is the Source (ground) contact. Die back side gold plating is 5 microns thick minimum. Thermosonic ball or wedge bonding are the preferred connection methods. Gold wire must be used for connections. Use the die label (XX-YY) for correct orientation. Copyright © 2010-2012 Cree, Inc. All rights reserved.
