FMA3009 2-20GHZ BROADBAND MMIC AMPLIFIER FEATURES: • • • • • • • Pre-Production Datasheet v2.5 FUNCTIONAL SCHEMATIC: 10dB Gain Single Supply (Self Biased) 26dBm P1dB Output Power at 8.0V pHEMT Technology Bias Control Input Return Loss <-9dB Output Return Loss <-8dB VDD RF Input RF Output GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The FMA3009 is a high performance 2-20GHz Gallium Arsenide monolithic travelling wave amplifier. It is suitable for use in broadband communication, instrumentation and electronic warfare applications. The die is fabricated using the Filtronic 0.25µm process. The Circuit is DC blocked at both the RF input and the RF output. Bias control is achieved using a combination of three on chip bias resistors connected to ground, using the bond wires.

wires with 25µm diameter and a maximum length of 300µm. Optimum input and output return loss can be achieved, to compensate for bond wire inductance, with the addition of a microstrip transformer, shown in the diagram below. Ground connections should be made according to the required bias conditions.

Specially designed collets should be used where possible. DESCRIPTION Die in Waffle-pack FMA3009 (Gel-pak available on request) The recommended die attach is gold/tin eutectic solder under a nitrogen atmosphere. Stage temperature should be 280-290°C; maximum time at temperature is one minute. The recommended wire bond method is thermo-compression wedge bonding with 0.7 or 1.0 mil (0.018 or 0.025 mm) gold wire. Stage temperature should be 250-260°C. Bonds should be made from the die first and then to the mounting substrate or package. The physical length of the bondwires should be minimised especially when making RF or ground connections. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS: To avoid damage to the devices care should be exercised during handling.
