RoHS Compliant MAAPGM0064-DIE Amplifier, Power, 2.0 W 6.5—9.5 GHz Rev — Preliminary Information Features ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 2 Watt Saturated Output Power Level Variable Drain Voltage (4-10V) Operation MSAG™ Process High Performance Ceramic Bolt Down Package Description The MAAPGM0064-DIE is a 2-stage 2 W power amplifier with on-chip bias networks. This product is fully matched to 50 ohms on both the input and output. It can be used as a power amplifier stage or as a driver stage in high power applications. Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure performance compliance. The part is fabricated using M/A-COM’s GaAs Multifunction SelfAligned Gate Process. Primary Applications M/A-COM’s MSAG™ process features robust silicon-like manufacturing processes, planar processing of ion implanted transistors and multiple implant capability enabling power, low-noise, switch and digital FETs on a single chip. The use of refractory metals and the absence of platinum in the gate metal formulation prevents hydrogen poisoning when employed in hermetic packaging.

Limit time @ 310 °C to less than 7 minutes. Refer to Application Note AN3017 for more detailed information. Wirebonding: Bond @ 160 °C using standard ball or thermal compression wedge bond techniques. For DC pad connections, use either ball or wedge bonds. For best RF performance, use wedge bonds of shortest length, although ball bonds are also acceptable. Biasing Note: Must apply negative bias to VGG before applying positive bias to VDD to prevent damage to amplifier. 5 M/A-COM Inc. and its affiliates reserve the right to make changes to the product(s) or information contained herein without notice.
