Product Data Sheet 2 - 6 GHz Gain Block Amplifier TGA8226-SCC Key Features and Performance • • • • • • 2 to 6 GHz Frequency Range 13.5 dB Gain 17 dBm Output Power at 1 dB Gain Compression 5.5 dB Noise Figure Operates from Single 15V Supply 1.47 x 1.85 x 0.15 mm (0.058 x 0.073 x 0.006 in.) Description The TriQuint TGA8226-SCC is a self biased distributed amplifier and operates from a single 15 V supply. Four 457 um FETs produce a typical gain greater than 13.5 dB, with input and output SWRs less than 2:1. Direct cascading without additional components is possible by using the on-chip blocking capacitors. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization. Bond pad and backside metallization is gold plated for compatibility with eutectic alloy attachment methods as well as thermocompression and thermosonic wirebonding processes. The TGA8226-SCC is available in chip form and is readily assembled using automated equipment.

Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "RF Characteristics" is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. * For operation above 25oC base-plate temperature, derate linearly at the rate of 9.2 mW/oC. ** Operating channel temperature (TCH) directly affects the device MTTF. For maximum life, it is recommended that channel temperature be maintained at the low est possible level.
