2.5 GHz InGaP HBT 5W Linear Power Amplifier CHV2710-QJ October 2006 - Rev 23-Oct-06 Features Internal Pre-matching Single Supply operation, 12V Power Gain 9 dB ESD Protection on board Current Control for multiple applications 2.5% EVM @ 29 dBm avg power, 802.16 OFDM signal format, PAR = 9 dB Low Thermal Resistance Ideal for WiMAX and WiBRO applications RoHS compliant 6x6 QFN package General Description The CHV2710 internally pre-matched power HBT device provides 9 dB of gain, 2.5% EVM at 29 dBm output power for 802.16 OFDM signal with a peak to average power ratio of 9 dB. The device operates off a single supply voltage up to 12V and includes internal bias circuitry to enable exact setting of the quiescent current using an external Vcontrol. This Vcontrol is non-unique voltage setting and the same value can be used for each part depending on the required Icq. The device is ideal for high linearity, high data rate applications such as WiMAX and WiBRO. Internal pre-matching facilitates a simplified external matching approach and the highest in-band gain potential of the device. The device operates with unique matching at each of the popular WiMAX bands with the inherent repeatability of an InGaP HBT process.

Package Attachment - This packaged product from Mimix Broadband is provided as a rugged surface mount package compatible with high volume solder installation. Care should be taken not to apply heavy pressure to the top or base material to avoid package damage. Vacuum tools or other suitable pick and place equipment may be used to pick and place this part. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder connection so that good RF, DC and ground connections are maintained. Voids or gaps can eventually lead not only to RF performance degradation, but reduced reliability and life of the product due to thermal stress. Mimix Lead-Free RoHS Compliant Program - Mimix has an active program in place to meet customer and governmental requirements for eliminating lead (Pb) and other environmentally hazardous materials from our products. All Mimix RoHS compliant components are form, fit and functional replacements for their non-RoHS equivalents. Lead plating of our RoHS compliant parts is 100% matt tin (Sn) over copper alloy and is backwards compatible with current standard SnPb low-temperature reflow processes as well as higher temperature (260°C reflow) “Pb Free” processes.
