Minor improvements in performance are possible depending on the application. The drain bias voltage range is 3 to 5V. A single DC gate supply connected to Vgg will bias all gain stages. Muting can be accomplished by setting Vgg to the pinch-off voltage Vp. emerging from the RF output port. The detected voltage is given by : A simplified schematic for the AMMP6425 MMIC die is shown in Figure 12. The MMIC die contains ESD and over voltage protection diodes for Vg, and Vdd terminals. The package diagram for the recommended assembly is shown in Figure 13. In finalized package form, ESD diodes protect all possible ESD or over voltage damages between Vgg and ground, Vgg and Vdd, Vdd and ground. Typical ESD diode current versus diode voltage for 11connected diodes in series is shown in Figure 14. Under the recommended DC quiescent biasing condition at Vds=5V, Ids=650mA, Vgg=-1V, typical gate terminal current is approximately 0.3mA. If an active biasing technique is selected for the AMMP6425 MMIC PA DC biasing, the active biasing circuit must have more than 10-times higher internal current that the gate terminal current. There are three methods to calculate Vofs : An optional output power detector network is also provided. The differential voltage between the Det-Ref and Det-Out pads can be correlated with the RF power DET_R V = (V ref − V det ) − V ofs where Vref is the voltage at the DET_R port, Vdet is a voltage at the DET_0 port, Vofs and is the zero-inputpower offset voltage. 1. Vofs can be measured before each detector measurement (by removing or switching off the power source and measuring Vref - Vdet). This method gives an error due to temperature drift of less than 0.01dB/50°C. 2. Vofs can be measured at a single reference temperature. The drift error will be less than 0.25dB. 3. Vofs can either be characterized over temperature and stored in a lookup table, or it can be measured at two temperatures and a linear fit used to calculate Vofs at any temperature. This method gives an error close to the method #1. The RF ports are AC coupled at the RF input to the first stage and the RF output of the final stage. No ground wired are needed since ground connections are made with plated through-holes to the backside of the device. V dd Vg DQ DET_O RFout RF in Figure 12.

Suggested PCB Land Pattern and Stencil Layout Ground vias should be solder filled Figure 15b. PCB Land Pattern and Stencil Layouts 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. Figure 15c. Stencil Outline Drawing(mm) Manual Assembly • Follow ESD precautions while handling packages. • Handling should be along the edges with tweezers. • Recommended attachment is conductive solder paste. Please see recommended solder reflow profile. Neither Conductive epoxy or hand soldering is recommended. • 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. • 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 temp. to avoid damage due to thermal shock. • 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. 300 Peak = 250 ± 5˚C Temp (°C) 250 Melting point = 218˚C 200 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 15b. 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 0.127mm (5 mils) thick stainless steel which is capable of producing the required fine stencil outline. 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 16. 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.
