Pin Names and Descriptions
Pin
Name
Description
RFIN
RF Input. This pad is DC coupled and matched to 50Ω from DC to
50GHz. 50Ω microstrip transmission line on 0.127mm (5mil) thick
alumina thin film substrate is recommended for RF input and
output. A DC blocking capacitor is required for this connection. The
calue of this capacitor will be based on the desired frequency range
of application.
2
VG2
Each amplifier stage in the SDA-6000 is a cascade configuration.
The gate of each upper FET in the cascade amplifiers is biased
with the 2.2 VDC supply mentioned in this data sheet. The DC
connection for the upper device gates runs across the length of the
die. Pads 2 and 5 are both on this DC connection but are on
opposite ends of the die. The 2.2VDC connection can therefore be
placed on either pad. A bypass capacitor is recommended on both
ends, pads 2 and 5.
3
VTO
The output drain termination pad. This pad requires a 1000pF
bypass capacitor with the shortest wirebond length to prevent low
frequency gain ripple.
4
RFOUT and
VDD
RF Output. 50Ω microstrip transmission line on 0.127mm (5mil)
thick alumina thin film substrate is recommended for RF input and
output. Connect the DC bias (VDD) network to provide drain current
(IDD). Note: Drain Bias (VDD) must be applied through a broadband
bias tee or external bias network.
5
VCAS
Each amplifier stage in the SDA-6000 is a cascade configuration.
The gate of each upper FET in the cascade amplifiers is biased
with the 2.2VDC supply mentioned in this data sheet. The DC
connection for the upper device gates runs across the length of the
die. Pads 2 and 5 are both on this DC connection but are on
opposite ends of the die. The 2.2VDC connection can therefore be
placed on either pad. A bypass capacitor is recommended on both
ends, pads 2 and 5.

GND
Interface Schematic
Input gate voltage for the lower devices in the cascade amplifier.
This pad also serves as the RF ground for the input termination
resistor. The DC voltage applied to this pad will be between -2VDC
(device is pinched OFF) to +1VDC (fully ON). The value of this
capacitor will effect the low frequency response of the amplifier.
Ground connection. Connect die bottom directly to ground plane for
best performance. NOTE: The die should be connected directly to
the ground plane with conductive epoxy.

Bias Sequence (Turn Device On):
VTI - Apply negative -2.0 volts. (This shuts the device off.)
VG2 - Apply positive 2.2 volts.
VDD - Apply positive 5.0 volts to the RF output bias tee.
Important - Adjust VTI between -2 to +1 volts to achieve IDD = 80mA nominal.
Bias Sequence (Turn Device Off):
VTI - Return to negative -2.0 volts.
VDD - Remove positive 5.0 volts to the RF output bias tee.
VG2 - Remove positive 2.2 volts.

Measurement Technique
All data presented in this document represents the integrated circuit and accompanying bond wires.
All performance data reported in this document were measured in the following manner. Data was taken using a temperature
controlled probe station utilizing 150 μm pitch GSG probes. The interface between the probes and integrated circuit was made
with a coplanar to microstrip ceramic test interface. The test interface was wire bonded to the die using 1 mil diameter bondwires.
The spacing between the test interface and the die was 200 μm, and the bond wire loop height was 100 μm. The calibration of the
test fixture included the probes and test interfaces, so that the measurement reference plane was at the point of bond wire
attachment to the ceramic interface. The presented data therefore represents the chip plus wirebonds.
