The packaged amplifier comes in an industry
standard, fully molded 5 mm QFN package and is
comprised of a three stage power amplifier with an
integrated, temperature compensated on-chip power
detector. The device includes on-chip ESD
protection structures and DC by-pass capacitors to
ease the implementation and volume assembly of
the packaged part.

5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. M/A-COM Technology Solutions does not recommend
sustained operation near these survivability limits.
7. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ 160°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
8. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN))
Typical thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 7.9°C/W
a) For TC = 25°C,
TJ = 91°C @ 6 V, 1.85 A, POUT = 34.5 dBm, PIN = 14 dBm
b) For TC = 85°C,
TJ = 146°C @ 6 V, 1.75 A, POUT = 34.5 dBm, PIN = 14 dBm
9. Channel temperature directly affects device MTTF. Channel
temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize
lifetime.
10. For saturated performance it is recommended that the sum of
(2*VDD + abs(VGG)) <17 V.
