Device thermal performances
All the figures given in this section are obtained assuming that the QFN device is cooled
down only by conduction through the package thermal pad (no convection mode
considered).
The temperature is monitored at the package back-side interface (Tcase) as shown below.
The system maximum temperature must be adjusted in order to guarantee that Tcase
remains below than the maximum value specified in the next table. So, the system PCB
must be designed to comply with this requirement.
A derating must be applied on the dissipated power if the Tcase temperature can not be
maintained below than the maximum temperature specified (see the curve Pdiss. Max) in
order to guarantee the nominal device life time (MTTF).

The package outline drawing included to this data-sheet is given for indication. Refer to the
application note AN0017 available at http://www.ums-gaas.com for exact package dimensions.
It is strongly recommended to ground all pins marked “Gnd” through the PCB board. Ensure that the
PCB board is designed to provide the best possible ground to the package.

Definition of the Sij reference planes
The reference planes used for Sij
measurements
given
above
are
symmetrical from the symmetrical axis of
the package (see drawing beside). The
input and output reference planes are
located at 3.18mm offset (input wise and
output wise respectively) from this axis.
Then, the given Sij parameters incorporate
the land pattern of the evaluation

SMD mounting procedure
The SMD leadless package has been designed for high volume surface mount PCB
assembly process. The dimensions and footprint required for the PCB (motherboard) are
given in the drawings above.
For the mounting process standard techniques involving solder paste and a suitable reflow
process can be used. For further details, see application note AN0017.

Notes
Due to ESD protection, LO and RF access are DC grounded, an external capacitance might
be requested to isolate the product from external voltage that could be present on the RF
access. ESD protections are also implemented on each gate access: VGX, VGM and VGC.
