amplifier in a surface mount package designed for use
in transmitters that operate in various frequency bands
between 27GHz and 32GHz. At 30GHz, it provides 29dBm
of output power (P-1dB) and 19dB of small-signal gain
from a small easy-to-use device. The device has input
and output matching circuitry for use in 50Ω environ-
ments. The AMMP-6430 also integrates a temperature
compensated RF power detection circuit that enables
power detection of 0.3V/W. DC bias is simple and the
device operates on widely available 5V for current supply
(negative voltage only needed for Vg). It is fabricated in
a PHEMT process for exceptional power and gain perfor-
mance.

Notes:
1. Operation in excess of any one of these conditions may result in permanent damage to this device.
2. Combinations of supply voltage, drain current, input power, and output power shall not exceed PD.
3. When operate at this condition with a base plate temperature of 85
°
C, the median time to failure (MTTF) is significantly reduced.
4. These ratings apply to each individual FET
5. Junction operating temperature will directly affect the device MTTF. For maximum life, it is recommended that junction temperatures be
maintained at the lowest possible levels.

Notes:
6. Assume SnPb soldering to an evaluation RF board at 85 °C base plate temperatures. Worst case is at saturated output power when DC power
consumption rises to 5.24W with 0.9W RF power delivered to load. Power dissipation is 4.34W and the temperature rise in the channel is 72.9 °C. In this
condition, the base plate temperature must be remained below 82.1 °C to maintain maximum operating channel temperature below 155 °C.

Notes:
1. Small/Large -signal data measured in packaged form on a 2.4-mm connecter based evaluation board at TA = 25°C.
2. This final package part performance is verified by a functional test correlated to actual performance at one or more frequencies
3. Specifications are derived from measurements in a 50Ω test environment. Aspects of the amplifier performance may be improved over a
narrower bandwidth by application of additional conjugate, linearity, or power matching.
4. Pre-assembly into package performance verified 100% on-wafer published specifications at Frequencies=27, 30, and 32GHz
5. The Gain and P1dB tested at 27GHz guaranteed with measurement accuracy ± 1.5 dB for gain and ±1.6dB for P1dB.
