Description
The ATF-26836 is a high perfor-
mance gallium arsenide Schottky-
barrier-gate field effect transistor
housed in a cost effective
microstrip package. This device is
designed for use in oscillator
applications and general purpose
amplifier applications in the
2-16␣ GHz frequency range.
This GaAs FET device has a
nominal 0.3 micron gate length
with a total gate periphery of
250␣ microns. Proven gold based
metallization systems and nitride
passivation assure a rugged,
reliable device.

Notes:
1. Permanent damage may occur if
any of these limits are exceeded.
2. TCASE
= 25°C.
3. Derate at 2.9 mW/°C for
TCASE >79°C.
4. Storage above +150°C may tarnish
the leads of this package difficult to
solder into a circuit. After a device
has been soldered into a circuit, it
may be safely stored up to 175°C.
5. The small spot size of this tech-
nique results in a higher, though
more accurate determination of θjc
than do alternate methods. See
MEASUREMENTS section for
more information.
