DESCRIPTION
The ITT3502D is a two stage, single ended MMIC
low noise amplifier fabricated using GaAsTEK’s
mature GaAs Self-Aligned MSAG® MESFET
Process. This product is fully matched to 50
ohms on both the input and the output. It is
intended for use as a gain block or a low noise
amplifier.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
750
µ
m
Assembly:
Chip dimensions:
2.725 mm x 1.245 mm,
.003” thickness.
Die attach:
Use AuSn (80/20) 1 mil. preform
solder. Limit time @ 300
°C
to less than 5
minutes.
Wirebonding:
Bond @ 160
°C
using standard
ball or thermal compression wedge bond
techniques. For DC pad connections, use
either ball or wedge bonds. For best RF
performance, use wedge bonds of shortest
length, although ball bonds are also
acceptable.
Required Bonds:
All RF and DC connections
must be made, but ground bonds are not
required.
Biasing:
User must apply negative bias to V
GG
before
applying positive bias to V
DD
to prevent damage
to amplifier.
