CMPA2560025D

CMPA2560025D
25 W, 2.5 - 6.0 GHz, GaN MMIC, Power Amplifier
Cree’s CMP2560025D 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
PN: CMPA25
6002
be achieved.

Notes:
1
Attach bypass capacitor to port 2-9 per application circuit.
2
VG1_A and VG1_B is connected internally so it would be enough to connect either one for proper operation.
3
The RF Input and Output pad have a ground-signal-ground with a pitch of 10 mil (250 um).
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.

Notes:
1
An additional microstripline of 31 ohm impedance and electrical length of 72° at 6.0 GHz
at the output of the MMIC is required to optimize overall performance in the 2.5 to 6.0 GHz
frequency band.
2
The input, output and decoupling capacitors should be attached as close as possible to the
die- typical distance is 5 to 10 mils with a maximum of 15 mils.
3
The MMIC die and capacitors should be connected with 2 mil gold bond wires.
