AVAGO AMMP-5618

AMMP-5618
6–20 GHz General Purpose Amplifier
Data Sheet
Description
Avago’s AMMP-5618 is a high power, medium gain
amplifier that operates from 6 GHz to 20 GHz. The
amplifier is designed to be an easy-to-use component
for any surface mount PCB application. In
communication systems, it can be used as a LO buffer,
or as a transmit driver amplifier. During typical
operation with a single 5V supply, each gain stage is
biased for Class-A operation for optimal power output
with minimal distortion. The amplifier has integrated
50Ω I/O match, DC blocking, self-bias and choke to
eliminate complex tuning and assembly processes
typically required by hybrid (discrete-FET) amplifiers.
The package is fully SMT compatible with backside
grounding and I/O to simplify assembly.
Note: These devices are ESD sensitive. The following
precautions are strongly recommended. Ensure that
an ESD approved carrier is used when dice are
transported from one destination to another. Personal
grounding is to be worn at all times when handling
these devices.
Features
• 5 x 5 mm surface mount package
• Broad band performance 6–20 GHz

• LMDS & Pt-Pt mmW long haul
• Broadband wireless access (including 802.16 and 802.20
WiMax)
• WLL and MMDS loops
• Commercial grade military

Notes:
3. Small/Large -signal data measured in a fully de-embedded test fixture form TA = 25°C.
4. Pre-assembly into package performance verified 100% on-wafer per AMMC-5618 published specifications
5. This final package part performance is verified by a functional test correlated to actual performance at one or more frequencies
6. Specifications are derived from measurements in a 50Ω test environment. Aspects of the amplifier performance may be improved over a more narrow
bandwidth by application of additional conjugate, linearity, or low noise (Γopt) matching.

Biasing and Operation
The AMMC-5618 is normally
biased with a single positive
drain supply connected to both
VD pins through bypass capacitors as shown in Figure 19. The
recommended supply voltage is
5V. It is important to have 0.1 µF
bypass capacitor, and the capacitor should be placed as close to
the component as possible.
The AMMC-5618 does not require
a negative gate voltage to bias
any of the two stages. No ground
wires are needed because all
ground connections are made
with plated through-holes to the
backside of the package.
Refer to the Absolute Maximum
Ratings table for allowed DC and
thermal conditions.

Manual Assembly
1. Follow ESD precautions while
handling packages.
2. Handling should be along the
edges with tweezers.
3. Recommended attachment is
conductive solder paste.
Please see recommended
solder reflow profile. Conductive epoxy is not recommended. Hand soldering is not
recommended.
4. Apply solder paste using a
stencil printer or dot placement. The volume of solder
paste will be dependent on
PCB and component layout
and should be controlled to
ensure consistent mechanical
and electrical performance.
5. Follow solder paste and
vendor’s recommendations
when developing a solder
reflow profile. A standard
profile will have a steady ramp
up from room temperature to
the pre-heat temperature to
avoid damage due to thermal
shock.
6. Packages have been qualified
to withstand a peak temperature of 260° C for 20 seconds.
Verify that the profile will not
expose device beyond these
limits.
Solder Reflow Profile
The most commonly used solder
reflow method is accomplished in
a belt furnace using convection
heat transfer. The suggested
reflow profile for automated
reflow processes is shown in
Figure 24. This profile is designed
to ensure reliable finished joints.
However, the profile indicated in
Figure 1 will vary among different solder pastes from different
manufacturers and is shown here
for reference only.
Stencil Design Guidelines
A properly designed solder
screen or stencil is required to
ensure optimum amount of solder
paste is deposited onto the PCB
pads. The recommended stencil
layout is shown in Figure 25. The
stencil has a solder paste deposition opening approximately 70%
to 90% of the PCB pad. Reducing
stencil opening can potentially
generate more voids underneath.
On the other hand, stencil
openings larger than 100% will
lead to excessive solder paste
smear or bridging across the I/O
pads. Considering the fact that
solder paste thickness will
directly affect the quality of the
solder joint, a good choice is to
use a laser cut stencil composed
of 0.127 mm (5 mils) thick
stainless steel which is capable of
producing the required fine
stencil outline.
The combined PCB and stencil
layout is shown in Figure 26.
