NEC's SUPER LOW NOISE HJ FET NE4210S01 OUTLINE DIMENSION FEATURES • SUPER LOW NOISE FIGURE: 0.50 dB TYP at f = 12 GHz (Units in mm) PACKAGE OUTLINE SO1 • HIGH ASSOCIATED GAIN: 13.0 dB TYP at f = 12 GHz 2.0 – 0.2 • GATE LENGTH: LG ≤ 0.20 µm 0 2. 1 – • GATE WIDTH: WG = 160 µm 2 0. 2 L DESCRIPTION NEC'S NE4210S01 is a pseudomorphic Hetero-Junction FET that uses the junction between Si-doped AIGaAs and undoped InGaAs to create very high mobility electrons. The device features mushroom shaped TiAl gates for decreased gate resistance and improved power handling. Its excellent low noise figure and high associated gain make it suitable for DBS and commercial systems. The NE4210S01 is housed in a low cost plastic package which is available in tape and reel. NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures assure the highest reliability and performance. 4 3 0.5 TYP 2.0–0.2 1. Source 2. Drain 3. Source 4.

Typical values of noise figures and associated gain are those obtained when 50% of the devices from a large number of lots were individually measured in a circuit with the input individually tuned to obtain the minimum value. Maximum values are criteria established on the production line as a "go-no-go" screening tuned for the "generic" type but not each specimen.
