Page 4 of 10 MMA-273336 27-33GHz 4W MMIC Power Amplifier Data Sheet July, 2012 Applications The MMA273336 MMIC power amplifier is designed for use as a power stage amplifier in microwave transmitters. It is ideally suited for 27 to 33GHz band V-sat transmitter applications requiring excellent saturated output power performance. This amplifier is provided as a 5x5mm QFN package, and the packaged amplifier is fully compatible with industry standard high volume surface mount PCB assembly processes. Biasing and Operation The recommended bias conditions for best performance for the MMA273336 are VDD = 6.0V, Idsq = 2200mA. Performance improvements are possible depending on applications. The drain bias voltage range is 5 to 6V and the quiescent drain current biasing range is 1500mA to 2800mA. A single DC gate supply connected to Vg will bias all the amplifier stages. Muting can be accomplished by setting Vg to the pinch-off voltage (Vp=-2V). The gate voltage (Vg) should be applied prior to the drain voltages (Vd1, Vd2, Vd3) during power up and removed after the drain voltages during power down. The RF input and output ports are DC decoupled internally. Typical DC supply connection with bi-passing capacitors for the MMA273336 is shown in following pages. Assembly Techniques GaAs MMICs are ESD sensitive. ESD preventive measures must be employed in all aspects of storage, handling, and assembly. MMIC ESD precautions, handling considerations, die attach and bonding methods are critical factors in successful GaAs MMIC performance and reliability.
