30 kHz-30 GHz GaAs MMIC Optical Modulator Driver Amplifier August 2006 - Rev 02-Aug-06 CMM3030-BD Features Small Size High Gain: 9 dB Typical Output Voltage up to 7.5 V Peak-to-Peak 30 kHz to 30 GHz Bandwidth Low Gain Ripple: 1.0 dB pp Typical Sub 0.25 Micron PHEMT Chip Diagram Applications Driver Amplifier for LiNb03 Modulator @ OC192 bit rate SONET/SHD Transmission Systems Medium Power Linear Gain Block for Broadband Systems Description The CMM3030-BD is a precision GaAs MMIC, medium power amplifier and is part of Celeritek’s family of WideFiber™ products. The CMM3030-BD optical driver amplifier gives fiber optic system designers a unique combination of wideband frequency coverage, along with a flat response and very low internal jitter. It is a precision PHEMT GaAs MMIC medium power amplifier with +23 dBm @ P1dB. It operates from 30 kHz to 30 GHz with a 9 dB linear gain. Low internal jitter makes it especially well suited for high speed digital Units in Microns data applications. Maximum output voltage is 7.5 V peak-topeak. It is an excellent choice as a driver amplifier for Lithium Niobate (Mach-Zehnder) external optical modulators, to achieve high extinction ratio. Targeted for OC-192/STM64 metropolitan and long-haul dense wave-division multiplexed optical networking applications and other high speed applications. The bit rate can be as high as 15 Gb/s to provide overhead for forward error-correction algorithms. The bias voltage can be adjusted to reduce the output voltage as needed. CMM3030-BD amplifiers are shipped in Gel Pack from Celeritek’s foundry.

For eutectic die attach: Preform: AuSn (80% Au, 20% Sn); Stage Temperature: 290°C, ±5°C; Handling Tool: Tweezers; Time: 1 min or less. 12 V -5 V 375 mA 3.0 W +175°C -65°C to +175°C +320°C +23 dBm Wire Bonding: Wire Size: 0.7 to 1.0 mil in diameter (prestressed); Thermocompression bonding is preferred over thermosonic bonding. For thermocompression bonding: Stage Temperature: 250°C; Bond Tip Temperature: 150°C; Bonding Tip Pressure: 18 to 40 gms depending on size of wire. Typical Performance P1dB vs Temperature Performance Optimization Using the Gain-Ctl facility of the CMM3030-BD, output power may be increased by application of 1.2 to 1.8 Volts to the Bias Control pad. If the Gain-Ctl facility is not used, a fixed voltage at the Bias Control pad can be implemented by connecting a off-chip parallel resistor to the pad which will lower the output voltage accordingly. If Bias Control voltage is decreased further than those lowest values given in the tables, both gain and output power will start to drop.
