Typical peak-to-average (P/A) ratio of 8.5 dB at 0.01% (probability) CCDF: — Output power: 38 W. — Power gain: 14 dB. — Efficiency: 26%. — IM3: –36 dBc. — ACPR: –39 dBc. — Return loss: –12 dB. High-reliability, gold-metalization process. Hot carrier injection (HCI) induced bias drift of <5% over 20 years. Internally matched. High gain, efficiency, and linearity. Integrated ESD protection. Device can withstand a 10:1 voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) at 28 Vdc, 2140 MHz, 180 W output power pulsed 4 µs at 10% duty. Large signal impedance parameters available. Table 1.

These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability. Table 3. ESD Rating* AGR21180EF HBM MM CDM Minimum (V) 500 50 1000 Class 1B A 4 * Although electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuitry has been designed into this device, proper precautions must be taken to avoid exposure to ESD and electrical overstress (EOS) during all handling, assembly, and test operations. PEAK Agere Devices employs a human-body model (HBM), a machine model (MM), and a charged-device model (CDM) qualification requirement in order to determine ESD-susceptibility limits and protection design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the circuit parameters used in each of the models, as defined by JEDEC's JESD22-A114B (HBM), JESD22-A115A (MM), and JESD22-C101A (CDM) standards. Caution: MOS devices are susceptible to damage from electrostatic charge. Reasonable precautions in handling and packaging MOS devices should be observed.
