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.

5.
Apply VGG = -1.8 V, VDD= 0 V.
Ramp VDD to desired voltage, typically 5 to 7 V.
Adjust VGG to set IDQ, (approximately –1.8 V).
Set RF input.
Power down in reverse sequence . Turn gate voltage
off last.

Notes on board design

Sample board uses RO4350 (er = 3.48) as dielectric
for circuit board. Dielectric thickness is not critical
but RFin and RFout transmission lines should be 50
ohms (w = 22 mil for thickness = 10 mil).
Solder the exposed paddle on the back of the package to the board. Proper attachment of the exposed
paddle is essential for RF and DC ground in addition
to providing a low thermal resistance.
Case temperature (Tc) is measured on the top
circuit board metal as close to the body of the
package as possible (see sample board drawing).
The board must provide adequate heat sinking to
accommodate the 2.5 W typically dissipated under
small signal conditions. Sample board uses vias in
the vicinity of the ground pad to provide a suitable
heat sink connected to the ground plane of the
board as shown above.
Placement of C1, C2 and R1 are not critical but use
of size 1206 for the bypass caps (C1 and C2) is
critical.
