5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
7. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
8. Channel temperature directly affects device MTTF. Chanel
temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize
lifetime. Thermal resistance, Θjc, is 5.8 °C/W.
9. For saturated performance, it is recommended that the sum
of (2VDD + abs (VGG)) < 15 V.
Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
These electronic devices are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged
by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques
should be used when handling these CDM class 2,
HBM class 1B devices.

Evaluation Board Layout
All gates should be pinched-off (VG < -2 V) before
applying drain voltage (VD = 6 V). Then the gate
voltages can be increased until the desired
quiescent drain current is reached in each stage.
The recommended quiescent bias is VD = 6 V,
ID1 = 190 mA, ID2 = 380 mA and ID3 = 762 mA.
The performance in this datasheet has been
measured with fixed gate voltage and no drain
current regulation under large signal operation. It is
also possible to regulate the drain current
dynamically, to limit the DC power dissipation
under RF drive. To turn off the device, the turn on
bias sequence should be followed in reverse.
Bias Arrangement Each DC pin (VD1,2,3 and VG1,2,3) needs to have
bypass capacitance (120 pF and 10 nF) mounted
as close to the MMIC as possible.
Power Detector As shown in the schematic below, the power
detector is implemented by providing +5 V bias
and measuring the difference in output voltage with
standard op-amp in a differential mode
configuration.
