Description
The MAAM-011177 is a broadband GaAs MMIC
differential amplifier in a lead-free TSSOP-16LD-EP
package. It is designed for integration in a 75 Ω
push-pull, low-distortion amplifier circuit.
This amplifier is ideally suited for use in CATV
applications where low noise figure and low
distortion are required.

8. Exceeding any one or a combination of these limits may
cause permanent damage to this device.
9. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
10. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ < +160°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
11. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * (V * I)
Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 5.5° C/W.
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 60°C @ 24 V, 265 mA
b) For TC = 110°C,
TJ = 145 °C @ 24 V, 265 mA
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
An external protection circuit using an inexpensive
anti-parallel diode pair can be used to protect the
IC. Please reference application note AN3028 on
http://www.macom.com for further detail.

12. Due to the high power dissipation of this part, a heat sink
must be attached to the printed circuit board.
13. The recommended assembly uses a heat sink with a
pedestal. The printed circuit board has a cut-out under the
part and the lead frame of the part is soldered directly to the
heat sink pedestal as shown. The heat sink should be
connected to the system chassis.

Recommended Thermal Via Array
If a thermal pedestal is not desired, a dense
through-via pattern with copper fill or sufficient hole
plating is required for operation at a reliable
junction temperature. Generally, filled vias and thin
substrates are preferable.
An example layout using 10-mil (0.254 mm)
finished hole diameter, 62-mil (1.575 mm) finished
board thickness is seen at right: T J = 145°C with
PCB bottom heated to 85°C using 1.5-mil (38
micron) minimum copper via plating. Estimated
exposed pad temperature was T C = 110°C. It is
recommended that thermal vias extend beyond the
exposed pad and amplifier package as shown.
