Main Features
The monolithic microwave IC (MMIC) in the
package is a multi-function chip which
integrates a self biased LO buffer amplifier
and a sub-harmonic diode mixer for 2LO
suppression. It is usable both for up- and
down-conversion and it is designed for a
wide range of applications, typically
commercial communication systems for
broadband local access (LMDS).

Please note that PIN 1 is located in the lower left corner of the package (front-side
view) for all SMD-type packages from United Monolithic Semiconductors. It is
indicated by a triangle on the package lid. Starting with PIN 1 the other pads are
numbered counter-clockwise (front-side view). ATTENTION: The dot on the backside
of the package (i.e. side with metallic pads) is just for fabrication purposes and does
NOT indicate the location of PIN 1.

Application note
The design of the motherboard has a strong impact on the over all performance since
the transition from the motherboard to the package is comparably large. In case of
the SMD-type packages of United Monolithic Semiconductors the motherboard
should be designed according to the information given in the following to achieve
good performance. Other configurations are also possible but can lead to different
results. If you need advise please contact United Monolithic Semiconductors for
further information.
SMD-type packages of UMS should allow design and fabrication of micro- and mmwave modules at low cost. Therefore, a suitable motherboard environment has been
chosen. All tests and verifications have been performed on Rogers RO4003. This
material exhibits a permittivity of 3.38 and has been used with a thickness of 200µm
[8 mils] and a 1/2oz or less copper cladding. The corresponding 50 Ohm
transmission line has a strip width of about 460µm [approx. 18 mils].
The contact areas on the motherboard for the package connections should be
designed according to the footprint given above. The proper via structure under the
ground pad is very important in order to achieve a good RF and lifetime performance.
All tests have been done by using a grid of plenty plated through vias with a diameter
of less than 200µm [8 mils] and a spacing of less than 400µm [16 mils] from the
centres of two adjacent vias. The via grid should cover the whole space under the
ground pad and the vias closest to the RF ports should be located near the edge of
the pad to allow a good RF ground connection. Since the vias are important for heat
transfer, a proper via filling should be guaranteed during the mounting procedure to
get a low thermal resistance between package and heat sink. For power devices the
use of heat slugs in the motherboard instead of a via grid is recommended.
For the mounting process the SMD-type package can be handled as a standard
surface mount component. The use of either solder or conductive epoxy is possible.
The solder thickness after reflow should be typical 50µm [2 mils] and the lateral
alignment between the package and the motherboard should be within 50µm [2 mils].
Caution should be taken to obtain a good and reliable contact over the whole pad
areas. Voids or other improper connections, in particular, between the ground pads of
motherboard and package will lead to a deterioration of the RF performance and the
heat dissipation. The latter effect can reduce drastically reliability and lifetime of the
product.

The RF ports comprise a DC blocking capacitor on chip level. The DC connections
include a first level of DC decoupling capacitors (typically 120pF) in the package.
However, all DC bias ports should be additionally connected to ground with 10nF
capacitors at board level to prevent the MMIC from oscillations. These parts should
be placed close to the SMD leadless package. If the same bias is required at different
DC ports, the lines should only be connected behind these block capacitors.
Further information on the application of the SMD leadless packages for GaAs
monolithic microwave ICs are given in the UMS Application Note AN0005.
