Description
The Filtronic LMA183 is a GaAs monolithic distributive amplifier which operates from 2 to 18GHz. This LMA183 amplifier produces a typical
gain of 7.5dB and a noise figure of less than 5.5dB. The LMA183 is suitable for gain block, low noise and driver amplifier applications. DC
decoupled output RF port. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization.

Assembly Diagram
Notes:
1.) Recommended lead bond technique is thermocompression wedge bonding with 0.001” (25µm) diameter wire. The bond
tool force shall be 35-38 gram. Bonding stage temperature shall be 230-240°C, heated tool (150-160°C) is recommended.
Ultrasonic bonding is not recommended.
2.) The recommended die attach is Ablebond silver epoxy, the stabilize bake temperature is set at 150°C for 45 minutes.
3.) Bond on bond or stitch bond acceptable.
4.) Conductor over conductor acceptable. Conductors must not short.
