100pF ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM: It is recommended that the RF connections be made using two bond wires 25µm in diameter and a maximum length of 300µm. Optimum input and output return loss can be achieved, to compensate for bond wire length, with the addition of a microstrip transformer, shown in the diagram below.

Specially designed collets should be used where possible. DESCRIPTION Die in Waffle-pack FMA3008 (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. Proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions should be observed at all stages of storage, handling, assembly, and testing. These devices should be treated as Class 0 (0-250 V) as defined in JEDEC Standard No. 22-A114. Further information on ESD control measures can be found in MIL-STD-1686 and MILHDBK-263. APPLICATION NOTES & DESIGN DATA: Application Notes and design data including Sparameters, noise data are available on request. DISCLAIMERS: This product is not designed for use in any space based or life sustaining/supporting equipment. 8 Tel: +44 (0) 1325 301111 Specifications subject to change without notice Filtronic Compound Semiconductors Ltd Fax: +44 (0) 1325 306177 Email: [email protected] Website: www.filtronic.com
