High Saturated Output Power: +33 dBm Typical High Power Added Efficiency: 22% Typical High P1dB: +32 dBm Typical 50 Ω Input / Output Broadband Matched Integrated Output Power Detector High Performance Ceramic Bolt Down Package Description The AM42-0007-DIE is a three stage MMIC linear power amplifier fabricated on a mature 0.5 micron MBE based GaAs process. The AM42-0007-DIE employs a fully matched chip with integral bias networks and output power detector. This GaAs MMIC power amplifier is ideally suited for used as an output stage or driver in applications for VSAT applications. Typical Bias Configuration 3,4 Ordering Information Part Number Package AM42-0007-DIE DIE Absolute Maximum Ratings 1,2 Parameter Absolute Maximum VDD +12 Volts VGG -10 Volts Power Dissipation 17.9 W RF Input Power +23 dBm ChannelTemperature +150 °C Storage Temperature -65 °C to +150 °C 1. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 2. Back of die temperature (TB) = +25°C. 3. Nominal bias is obtained by first connecting –5 volts to pin VGG (resistor network used) followed by connecting +9 volts to pin VDD. Note sequence. 4. It is recommended that the die be mounted with Au/Sn eutectic performs for good RF ground and thermal interface. 1 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 • Europe Tel: +353.21.244.6400 is considering for development.
