CHU2277a98F RoHS COMPLIANT W-band Multifunction: Multiplier / MPA GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description +V The CHU2277a is a W-band monolithic multifunction which integrates a frequency multiplier, a four-stage amplifier and a power divider. The frequency multiplier is based on an active transistor and allows operating at low input level with reduced power consumption. This chip provides two outputs at 77GHz, the main one is for the transmission path and the auxiliary one for the receiving mixer(s) LO signal. All the active devices are internally self-biased. This chip is compatible with automatic equipment for assembly. The circuit is manufactured with the P-HEMT process: 0.15µm gate length, via holes through the substrate, air bridges and electron beam gate lithography. It is available in chip form. -V OUT1 IN x2 OUT2 20 Main Features 18 OUT1 Output power (dBm) 16 Wide operating frequency range Low input power : 5dBm typical High output power (OUT1) Auxiliary output power (OUT2 Low AM noise High temperature range On-chip self biasing Low DC power consumption BCB layer protection Chip size: 4.65x1.6x0.1mm 14 12 10 8 OUT2 1 6 4 2 0 75 75,5 76 76,5 77 77,5 78 78,5 79 Output frequency (GHz) Typical output power characteristic Pin = 7dBm (on wafer measurement) Main Characteristics Tamb.= +25°C Symbol Parameter Min Typ Max Unit Freq Frequency range 38.0 38.5 GHz P_in Input power 0 5 12 dBm P_out1 Output power (OUT1) 13 dBm P_out2 Output power (OUT2) 10 dBm ESD Protection: Electrostatic discharge sensitive device.

This drawing shows an example of assembly and bias configuration. All the transistors are internally self-biased. An external capacitor is recommended for the positive and negative supply voltages. For the RF pads the equivalent wire bonding inductance (diameter=25µm) have to be according to the following recommendation.

This choice allows doing, for OUT2 port, a direct connection between MMICs. For a connection to an external substrate a network is proposed on soft substrate for OUT1 and OUT2 ports. The following drawings gives the dimensions for a DUROID substrate (thickness=0.127mm, εr=2.2). Proposed matching network for a 50Ω transition between OUT1 and a µ-strip line on DUROID substrate. Proposed matching network for a 50Ω transition between OUT2 and a µ-strip line on DUROID substrate.
