General Description
The XP9003-MB is a highly linear 3-stage power amplifier
module capable of 38 dB of gain, 30W of peak-power
and is housed in a surface mount, thermally efficient
package. XP9003-MB is fully matched internally and does
not require external components. The module operates
off a 9V voltage supply rail and is equipped with active
bias circuit and control voltage allowing for current
setting and minimizing variation over temperature and
voltage. This product is designed specifically for satellite
communication transmitters with high peak to average
signals. XP9003-MB achieves excess of 35 dBm of linear
power and less than -45 dBc adjacent channel power
ratio when operated under a 16 QAM traffic signal with 6
dB peak to average ratio.

Handling and Assembly Information
CAUTION! - Mimix Broadband MMIC Products contain gallium arsenide (GaAs) which can be hazardous to the human
body and the environment. For safety, observe the following procedures:
Do not ingest.
Do not alter the form of this product into a gas, powder, or liquid through burning, crushing, or chemical
processing as these by-products are dangerous to the human body if inhaled, ingested, or swallowed.
Observe government laws and company regulations when discarding this product. This product must be
discarded in accordance with methods specified by applicable hazardous waste procedures.
- Mimix Broadband's products are not authorized for use as critical components in life support
devices or systems without the express written approval of the President and General Counsel of Mimix Broadband. As
used herein: (1) Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into
the body, or (b) support or sustain life, and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with instructions
for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a significant injury to the user. (2) A critical
component is any component of a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected
to cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its safety or effectiveness.
Package Attachment - This packaged product from Mimix Broadband is provided as a drop-in package and is not
compatible with exposure to reflow soldering processes due to the nature of its internal construction. Mimix will only
support hand-soldering processes for this device. Care should be taken not to apply heavy pressure to the top or tabs to
avoid package damage. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder connections and
base heat sink 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% matte 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.
