Description
The MAAPGM0062-Die is a 3-stage power amplifier with on-
chip bias networks. This product is fully matched to 50 ohms on
both the input and output. It can be used as a power amplifier
stage or as a driver stage in high power applications.
Fabricated using M/A-COM’s repeatable, high performance and
highly reliable GaAs Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate MESFET
Process, each device is 100% RF tested on wafer to ensure
performance compliance.
M/A-COM’s MSAG™ process features robust silicon-like manu-
facturing processes, planar processing of ion implanted transis-
tors, multiple implant capability enabling power, low-noise,
switch and digital FETs on a single chip, and polyimide scratch
protection for ease of use with automated manufacturing proc-
esses. The use of refractory metals and the absence of plati-
num in the gate metal formulation prevents hydrogen poisoning
when employed in hermetic packaging
.

for pedestal mount.
Assembly Instructions:
Die attach:
Use AuSn (80/20) 1-2 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.
Biasing Note: Must apply negative bias to V
GG
before applying positive bias to V
DD
to prevent
damage to amplifier.
