AMMP-6220 6-20 GHz Low Noise Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features Avago’s AMMP-6220 is a high gain, low-noise amplifier that operates from 6 GHz to 20 GHz. The LNA is designed to be a easy-to-use component for any surface mount PCB application. The broad and unconditionally stable performance makes this LNA ideal for primary, sub-sequential or driver low noise gain stages. Intended applications include microwave radios, 802.16, automotive radar, VSAT, and satellite receivers. Since one part can cover several bands, the AMMP-6220 can reduce part inventory and increase volume purchase options. The LNA has integrated 50 W I/O match, DC blocking, self-bias and choke to eliminate complex tuning and assembly processes typically required by hybrid (discrete-FET) amplifiers. The package is full SMT compatible with backside grounding and I/O to simplify assembly. • 5x5 mm surface mount package • Broad Band performance 6-20 GHz • Low 2.5 dB typical noise figure • High 22 dB typical gain • 50 W input and output match • Single 3 V (55 mA) supply bias • 100% RF test in package Applications • Microwave radio systems • Satellite VSAT • WLL and MMDS loops Functional Block Diagram Package Diagram NC Vd NC 1 2 3 1 2 3 8 4 100 pF RF IN 8 4 RF OUT 7 7 6 5 NC NC NC 100 pF 6 5 PIN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 FUNCTION Vd RFout RFin PACKAGE BASE GND Attention: Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.

OIP3 over Vdd. 14 16 12 FREQUENCY (GHz) 18 20 Biasing and Operation The AMMC-6220 is normally biased with a single positive drain supply connected to both VD pin through bypass capacitors as shown in Figure 19. The recommended supply voltage is 3 V. It is important to have 0.1 µF bypass capacitor, and the capacitor should be placed as close to the component as possible. The AMMC-6220 does not require a negative gate voltage to bias any of the three stages. No ground wires are needed because all ground connections are made with plated through-holes to the backside of the package.
