Description
The MAAPGM0041-DIE is a 3-stage 1.3 W power amplifier with
on-chip bias networks. This product is fully matched to 50 ohms
on both the input and output. It can be used as a power amplifier
stage or as a driver stage in high power applications.
Each device is 100% RF tested on wafer to ensure performance
compliance. The part is fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable,
high performance and highly reliable GaAs Multifunction SelfAligned Gate (MSAG®) MESFET Process. This process features
silicon oxynitride passivation and polyimide scratch protection.

Operating Instructions
This device is static sensitive. Please handle with
care. To operate the device, follow these steps.
1. Apply VGG = -2 V, VDD= 0 V.
2. Ramp VDD to desired voltage, typically 8.0 V.
3. Adjust VGG to set IDQ, (approximately @ –2 V).
4. Set RF input.
5. Power down sequence in reverse. Turn gate
voltage off last.

Assembly Instructions:
Die attach: Use AuSn (80/20) 1-2 mil. preform solder. Limit time @ 300 °C to less than 5 minutes.
Wirebonding: Bond @ 160 °C using standard ball or thermal compression wedge bond techniques. For
DC pad connections, use either ball or wedge bonds. For best RF performance, use wedge bonds of
shortest length, although ball bonds are also acceptable.
Biasing Note: Must apply negative bias to VGG before applying positive bias to VDD to prevent
damage to amplifier.
