FPD750SOT343 LOW NOISE, HIGH LINEARITY PACKAGED PHEMT • PERFORMANCE (1850 MHz) ♦ 0.3 dB Noise Figure at 25% Bias ♦ 20 dBm Output Power (P1dB) ♦ 18 dB Small-Signal Gain (SSG) ♦ 38 dBm Output IP3 at 50% Bias ♦ Evaluation Boards Available ♦ Available in Lead Free Finish: FPD750SOT343E • DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS The FPD750SOT343 is a packaged depletion mode AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (pHEMT). It utilizes a 0.25 μm x 750 μm Schottky barrier Gate, defined by high-resolution stepper-based photolithography. The recessed and offset Gate structure minimizes parasitics to optimize performance, with an epitaxial structure designed for improved linearity over a range of bias conditions and input power levels. The FPD750 is available in die form and in other packages. Typical applications include drivers or output stages in PCS/Cellular base station high-interceptpoint LNAs, WLL and WLAN systems, and other types of wireless infrastructure systems. • ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS AT 22°C Parameter Symbol Test Conditions Min Typ Max Units 0.9 dB RF SPECIFICATIONS MEASURED AT f = 1850 MHz USING CW SIGNAL Minimum Noise Figure Output Third-Order Intercept Point NF IP3 (from 15 to 5 dB below P1dB) VDS = 3.3 V; IDS = 50% IDSS 0.6 VDS = 3.3 V; IDS = 25% IDSS 0.3 VDS = 3.3 V; IDS = 50% IDSS 35.5 VDS = 3.3 V; IDS = 25% IDSS 38 dBm 34 Tuned for Optimum IP3 Small-Signal Gain SSG VDS = 3.3 V; IDS = 50% IDSS 16.5 P1dB VDS = 3.3 V; IDS = 50% IDSS dB 17 VDS = 3.3 V; IDS = 25% IDSS Power at 1dB Gain Compression 18 19 20 dBm 18 VDS = 3.3 V; IDS = 25% IDSS Saturated Drain-Source Current IDSS VDS = 1.3 V; VGS = 0 V Maximum Drain-Source Current IMAX VDS = 1.3 V; VGS ≅ +1 V 375 mA Transconductance GM VDS = 1.3 V; VGS = 0 V 200 mS Gate-Source Leakage Current IGSO VGS = -5 V 5 μA Pinch-Off Voltage |VP| VDS = 1.3 V; IDS = 0.75 mA 0.7 1.0 Gate-Source Breakdown Voltage |VBDGS| IGS = 0.75 mA 12 16 V Gate-Drain Breakdown Voltage |VBDGD| IGD = 0.75 mA 12 18 V Phone: +1 408 850-5790 Fax: +1 408 850-5766 http://www.filtronic.co.uk/semis 185 230 280 1.3 mA V Revised: 04/28/05 Email: [email protected] FPD750SOT343 LOW NOISE, HIGH LINEARITY PACKAGED PHEMT • ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS1 Parameter Symbol Test Conditions Drain-Source Voltage VDS Gate-Source Voltage Max Units -3V < VGS < +0V 6 V VGS 0V < VDS < +8V -3 V Drain-Source Current IDS For VDS > 2V IDSS mA Gate Current IG Forward or reverse current 7.5 mA PIN Under any acceptable bias state 175 mW Channel Operating Temperature TCH Under any acceptable bias state 175 ºC Storage Temperature TSTG Non-Operating Storage 150 ºC Total Power Dissipation PTOT See De-Rating Note below 1.1 W Comp.

Proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions should be observed at all stages of storage, handling, assembly, and testing. These devices should be treated as Class 1A per ESD-STM5.1-1998, Human Body Model. Further information on ESD control measures can be found in MIL-STD-1686 and MIL-HDBK-263. • APPLICATIONS NOTES & DESIGN DATA Applications Notes are available from your local Filtronic Sales Representative or directly from the factory.

Such circuits should include provisions to ensure that Gate bias is applied before Drain bias, otherwise the pHEMT may be induced to self-oscillate. Contact your Sales Representative for additional information. ¾ Dual-bias circuits are relatively simple to implement, but will require a regulated negative voltage supply for depletion-mode devices such as the FPD750SOT343. ¾ Self-biased circuits employ an RF-bypassed Source resistor to provide the negative Gate-Source bias voltage, and such circuits provide some temperature stabilization for the device. A nominal value for circuit development is 5.45 Ω for a 50% of IDSS operating point. ¾ For standard Class A operation, a 50% of IDSS bias point is recommended. A small amount of RF gain expansion prior to the onset of compression is normal for this operating point. Note that pHEMTs, since they are “quasi- E/D mode” devices, exhibit Class AB traits when operated at 50% of IDSS. To achieve a larger separation between P1dB and IP3, an operating point in the 25% to 33% of IDSS range is suggested. Such Class AB operation will not degrade the IP3 performance. • PACKAGE OUTLINE (dimensions in mm) SOURCE GATE DRAIN SOURCE All information and specifications subject to change without notice.
