AMMP-6220 6-20 GHz Low Noise Amplifier Data Sheet Description Features Avago’s AMMP-6220 is a high gain, low-noise amplifier that operates from 6 GHz to 20 GHz. The LNA is designed to be a easy-to-use component for any surface mount PCB application. The broad and unconditionally stable performance makes this LNA ideal for primary, sub-sequential or driver low noise gain stages. Intended applications include microwave radios, 802.16, automotive radar, VSAT, and satellite receivers. Since one part can cover several bands, the AMMP-6220 can reduce part inventory and increase volume purchase options. The LNA has integrated 50 W I/O match, DC blocking, self-bias and choke to eliminate complex tuning and assembly processes typically required by hybrid (discreteFET) amplifiers. The package is full SMT compatible with backside grounding and I/O to simplify assembly. • 5x5 mm surface mount package • Broad Band performance 6-20 GHz • Low 2.5 dB typical noise figure • High 22 dB typical gain • 50 W input and output match • Single 3 V (55 mA) supply bias Applications • Microwave radio systems • Satellite VSAT, DBS up/down link • LMDS & Pt-Pt mmW Long Haul • Broadband Wireless Access (including 802.16 and 802.20 WiMax) Functional Diagram • WLL and MMDS loops • Commercial grade military 1 2 3 8 4 100 pF 7 100 pF 6 PIN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 FUNCTION Vd RFout RFin 5 PACKAGE BASE GND Attention: Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.

INPUT REFERENCE PLANE FOR S-PARAMETERS OUTPUT REFERENCE PLANE FOR S-PARAMETERS (VIEW FROM PACKAGE BOTTOM) Biasing and Operation The AMMC-6220 is normally biased with a single positive drain supply connected to both VD pin through bypass capacitors as shown in Figure 19. The recommended supply voltage is 3 V. 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-6220 does not require a negative gate voltage to bias any of the three stages. No ground wires are needed because all ground connections are made with plated through-holes to the backside of the package.

Recommended SMT Attachment The AMMP Packaged Devices are compatible with high volume surface mount PCB assembly processes. The PCB material and mounting pattern, as defined in the data sheet, optimizes RF performance and is strongly recommended. An electronic drawing of the land pattern is available upon request from Avago Sales & Application Engineering. 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 24. 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 25. Figure 23. Suggested PCB Land Pattern and Stencil Layout Figure 24. Stencil Outline Drawing (mm) Figure 25. Combined PCB and Stencil Layouts 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 26. This profile is designed to ensure reliable finished joints. However, the profile indicated in Figure 26 will vary among different solder pastes from different manufacturers and is shown here for reference only. 300 PEAK = 250 ± 5 C 250 TEMPERATURE ( C) 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.
