Description
The
MAAPGM0064
is a 2-stage 2W power amplifier with on-chip bias networks in a bolt down ceramic package,
allowing easy assembly. 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.
Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure performance compliance. The part is fabricated using M/A-COM’s GaAs
Multifunction Self-Aligned Gate Process.

Assembly Instructions:
This flange mount style package provides a robust interface between a highly integrated GaAs MMIC device and a circuit board
which may be assembled using conventional surface mount techniques. A thin shim made of a thermally and electrically
conductive, ductile material should be used prior to installation of the CR-15 to improve the thermal and electrical performance of
the package to housing interface. Refer to
M/A-COM Application Note #M567*
for more information .
For applications where surface mount components are to be installed after the CR-15 installation, this package will not be
damaged when subjected to typical convection or IR oven reflow profiles. Refer to
M/A-COM Application Note #M538*
for
maximum allowable reflow time and temperature. Alternatively, the package leads may be individually soldered. Whether an iron
or hot gas soldering equipment is used, care should be taken to insure that the temperature is well controlled and electric static
discharge (ESD) safe.
*Application Notes can be found by going to http://www.macom.com/Application%20Notes/default.asp
and searching for the required Application Note.
Biasing Notes:
♦
The 100pF bypass capacitors must be placed as close to the V
GG
and V
DD
♦
5
pins as possible
(recommended < 100 mils).
A negative bias must be applied to V
GG
before applying a positive bias to V
DD
to prevent damage to the amplifier.
