NE67400 NE67483B NEC's L TO Ku BAND LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER N-CHANNEL GaAS MESFET NOISE FIGURE, ASSOCIATED GAIN vs. FREQUENCY FEATURES • LOW NOISE FIGURE: NF = 1.4 dB TYP at f = at 12 GHz 24 Noise Figure, NF (dB) • HIGH ASSOCIATED GAIN: GA = 10 dB TYP at f = 12 GHz • GATE WIDTH: WG = 280 µm • GATE LENGTH: LG = 0.3 µm DESCRIPTION NEC's NE674 is a L to Ku Band low noise GaAs MESFET. This device features a low noise figure with high associated gain, employing a recessed 0.3 micron gate and triple epitaxial technology. The active area of the chip is covered with SiD2 and Si3N4 for scratch protection and surface stability. This device is suitable for both amplifier and oscillator applications. This device is housed in a solder sealed hermetic, metal ceramic package for high reliability in space applications. 20 3.0 16 GA 2.0 12 1.0 8 Associated Gain, GA, (dB) VDS = 3 V ID = 10 mA NF 4 0 1 2 4 6 8 10 14 20 30 Frequency, f (GHz) ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (TA = 25°C) PART NUMBER PACKAGE OUTLINE SYMBOLS NF GA P1dB IDSS VGS(OFF) gm IGSO RTH (CH-C) NE67400 NE67483B PARAMETERS AND CONDITIONS UNITS Noise Figure at VDS = 3 V, ID = 10 mA, f = 4 GHz f = 12 GHz dB dB Associated Gain at VDS = 3 V ID = 10 mA, f = 4 GHz f = 12 GHz dB dB MIN 8.5 TYP MAX 0.6 1.4 1.6 14.0 10.0 Output Power at 1 dB Gain Compression Point, f = 12 GHz, VDS = 3 V, IDS = 30 mA dBm Saturated Drain Current at VDS = 3 V, VGS = 0 V mA 20 40 120 V -0.5 -1.1 -3.5 Transconductance at VDS = 3 V, ID = 10 mA mS 20 50 100 Gate to Source Leakage Current at VGS = -5 V µA 1.0 10 Gate to Source Cut Off Voltage at VDS = 3 V, ID = 100 µA Thermal Resistance (Channel-to-Case) NE67400 NE67483B °C/W °C/W 14.5 190 450 California Eastern Laboratories NE67400, NE67483B ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS1 (TA = 25°C) SYMBOLS PARAMETERS UNITS RATINGS NFOPT GA (GHz) (dB) (dB) MAG ANG Rn/50 2 0.55 17.0 0.81 37 0.57 3 0.58 15.2 0.75 53 0.51 175 4 0.60 14.0 0.70 69 0.44 -65 to +175 5 0.68 13.2 0.67 83 0.37 6 0.76 12.6 0.65 97 0.31 7 0.85 12.0 0.64 111 0.25 8 0.93 11.5 0.64 123 0.19 9 1.03 11.0 0.64 136 0.14 10 1.15 10.7 0.64 148 0.10 11 1.26 10.3 0.64 161 0.06 12 1.40 10.0 0.63 173 0.05 13 1.55 9.6 0.62 -173 0.05 14 1.70 9.2 0.60 -159 0.08 15 1.84 9.0 0.57 -145 0.15 16 2.04 8.6 0.53 -129 0.23 17 2.18 8.3 0.46 -113 0.34 18 2.35 8.0 0.38 -95 0.44 Drain to Source Voltage V 5.0 VGD Gate to Drain Voltage V –6.0 IDS Drain Current mA IDSS TCH Channel Temperature °C Storage Temperature °C Total Power Dissipation NE67483B NE67400 PT mW mW 270 400 Note: 1.
