Description

The MAAP-010168 is a two stage MMIC power

amplifier designed for broadband high power

applications. It can be used as either a driver or an

output stage amplifier. This device is fully matched

input and output to 50 Ω which eliminates any

sensitive external RF tuning components.

The device is packaged in a lead free 10-lead

flanged hermetic package for high volume

manufacturing.

The MAAP-010168 is fabricated using a fully

passivated high reliability pHEMT process. The

device provides excellent power added efficiency

and gain.

5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these

survivability limits.

6. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +150°C will ensure

MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.

7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN))

Typical thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 2.0°C/W

Operating the MAAP-010168

The MAAP-010168 is static sensitive. Please handle

with care. To operate the device, follow these steps.

Ramp down or shutdown in reverse order

(gate bias on first and off last). All VGG pins should

have the same voltage applied at all times.

1. Apply VGG (-1.5 V).

2. Apply VDD (10.0 V Typical).

3. Set IDQ by adjusting VGG.

4. Apply RFIN.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid

damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive to

electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be damaged

by static electricity. Proper ESD control techniques

should be used when handling these devices.

MAAP-010168 Sample Board Layout

Below is the recommended layout for the MAAP-010168. For optimal stability MACOM recommends adding bias

decoupling capacitors of 10 µF at the entry point of VG and VDD (At the DC connections Header PIN). It is also

recommended to add shunt decoupling capacitors of 1 µF & 1000 pF at the gate and drain pins of MAAP-010168

as shown in the details A below.

MACOM can provide gerber files of the sample board layout upon request.
