Description
The Filtronic LMA208G is a medium power PHEMT amplifier that operates from 2 to 26GHz. This 5-stage travelling wave amplifier provides
10dB nominal gain and 1-dB gain compression power output of greater than 19dBm. The LMA208G is designed for use as wideband driver
amplifer in ECM (Electronic Counter-Measure) and commercial communication system applications. Ground is provided to the circuitry
through vias to the backside metallization.

Assembly Diagram
STANDARD BIAS
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 an eutectic 80/20 Gold/Tin solder, using a stage temperature of 285-290°C. Maximum
time at temperature is 1 minute. Use of forming gas (90% N2 , 10% H2 ) for best results.
3.) Bond on bond or stitch bond acceptable.
4.) Conductor over conductor acceptable. Conductors must not short.
