Integrated On-Chip
RoHS Compliant
Circuit Description
Mimix Broadband’s 2 stage feedback 1.5 to 6.0 GHz
driver amplifier is packaged in an RoHS compliant
surface mount 3x3 QFN package. The device is a
self-biased, single supply design with 15 dB gain and 15
dBm P1dB between 1 and 6 GHz. This MMIC uses Mimix
Broadband’s MESFET process. The device is fully
matched, so there is no need for external matching
components. Output DC blocking capacitor and RF
choke inductors are integrated on-chip. Care must be
taken to isolate the input from external DC voltages.

Handling and Assembly Information
CAUTION! - Mimix Broadband MMIC Products contain gallium arsenide (GaAs) which can be hazardous to the human body and the
environment. For safety, observe the following procedures:
• Do not ingest.
• Do not alter the form of this product into a gas, powder, or liquid through burning, crushing, or chemical processing as these byproducts are dangerous to the human body if inhaled, ingested, or swallowed.
• Observe government laws and company regulations when discarding this product. This product must be discarded in accordance with
methods specified by applicable hazardous waste procedures.
Life Support Policy - Mimix Broadband's products are not authorized for use as critical components in life support devices or systems
without the express written approval of the President and General Counsel of Mimix Broadband. As used herein: (1) Life support devices or
systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b) support or sustain life, and whose failure to
perform when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a
significant injury to the user. (2) A critical component is any component of a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be
reasonably expected to cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its safety or effectiveness.
Package Attachment - This packaged product from Mimix Broadband is provided as a rugged surface mount package compatible with high
volume solder installation. Vacuum tools or other suitable pick and place equipment may be used to pick and place this part. Care should be
taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder connection so that good RF, DC and ground connections are maintained. Voids
or gaps can eventually lead not only to RF performance degradation, but reduced reliability and life of the product due to thermal stress.

Parts are to be oriented with the PIN 1 closest to the tape's round sprocket holes on the tape’s trailing edge.
Note: Tape and Reel packaging is ordered with a -000T suffix. Package is available in 500 unit reels through designated sales channels.
Minimum order quantities should be discussed with your local sales representative.
Mimix Lead-Free RoHS Compliant Program - Mimix has an active program in place to meet customer and governmental requirements for
eliminating lead (Pb) and other environmentally hazardous materials from our products. All Mimix RoHS compliant components are form, fit
and functional replacements for their non-RoHS equivalents. Lead plating of our RoHS compliant parts is 100% matte tin (Sn) over copper
alloy and is backwards compatible with current standard SnPb low-temperature reflow processes as well as higher temperature (260°C
reflow) “Pb Free” processes.
