0.5 – 12 GHz Low Noise Gallium Arsenide FET Technical Data ATF-10236 Features Description • Low Noise Figure: 0.8␣ dB Typical at 4␣ GHz The ATF-10236 is a high performance gallium arsenide Schottky-barriergate field effect transistor housed in a cost effective microstrip package. Its low noise figure makes this device appropriate for use in the first and second stages of low noise amplifiers operating in the 0.5-12␣ GHz frequency range. • Low Bias: VDS = 2 V, IDS = 20␣ mA • High Associated Gain: 13.0␣ dB Typical at 4␣ GHz • High Output Power: 20.0␣ dBm Typical P1dB at 4␣ GHz • Cost Effective Ceramic Microstrip Package • Tape-And-Reel Packaging Option Available [1] 36 micro-X Package This GaAs FET device has a nominal 0.3 micron gate length using airbridge interconnects between drain fingers. Total gate periphery is 500 microns. Proven gold based metallization systems and nitride passivation assure a rugged, reliable device.

Permanent damage may occur if any of these limits are exceeded. 2. TCASE TEMPERATURE = 25°C. 3. Derate at 2.9 mW/°C for TCASE > 25°C. 4. Storage above +150°C may tarnish the leads of this package making it difficult to solder into a circuit. After a device has been soldered into a circuit, it may be safely stored up to 175°C. 5. The small spot size of this technique results in a higher, though more accurate determination of θjc than do alternate methods. See MEASUREMENTS section for more information.
