General Description
Mimix Broadband’s three stage 20.0-38.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC low noise amplifier has a small signal gain of
17.0 dB with a noise figure of 3.0 dB. The device comes
in a RoHS compliant, 3x3mm QFN package and
requires only a single positive bias supply. The
devices uses Mimix Broadband’s 0.15 µm GaAs PHEMT
device model technology, and is based upon electron
beam lithography to ensure high repeatability and
uniformity. The device is well suited to multiple
receiver applications which require broadband
performance with simple bias requirements and the
ease of volume manufacturing with 3x3mm QFN
packaging.

App Note [1] Biasing - The device is operated with a single, positive bias supply. The device performance is insensitive to changes in bias
condition; however, gain and power handling can be slightly improved with higher bias conditions without significantly affecting the noise figure
performance. Typical biasing conditions within the specified performance ranges are Vd=3V, 35mA, Vd=4V, 45mA, Vd=5V, 55mA.

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 byproducts 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. 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.
