8. Channel temperature directly affects device MTTF. Channel
temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize
lifetime. Thermal resistance, ΘJC is 9.2 °C/W.
9. For saturated performance, it is recommended that the sum of
(2VDD + abs (VGG)) <15 V.
5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
7. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.

Biasing
Bias Arrangement
All gates should be pinched-off, VG < -2 V, before
applying the drain voltage, VD = 5 V (do not exceed
maximum specified VDG value of 10 V). Then the
gate voltages can be increased until the desired
quiescent drain current is reached in each stage.
The recommended quiescent bias is VD = 5 V,
ID12 + ID3 = 1300 mA (total). The performance in this
datasheet has been measured with a fixed gate
voltage and no drain current regulation under large
signal operation. It is also possible to regulate the
drain current dynamically, to limit the DC power
dissipation under RF drive. To turn off the device,
the turn on bias sequence should be followed in
reverse.
Each DC pin (VD1,2, VD3 and VG1,2, VG3) needs to
have bypass capacitance of 100 nF mounted as
close to the packaged device as possible.
Detector Operation
MAAP-110150 includes a power and envelope detector. As per the application schematic, the power
detector requires an external 5 V supply and the envelope detector requires -5 V. The output from the
resistive voltage divider can be fed into a ADC or
multimeter for the result.
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these CDM class
C1, HBM Class 0A devices.
