Extended application of Absolute Maximum Rating conditions to the device may reduce device reliability. Specified typical performance or functional operation of the device under Absolute Maximum Rating conditions is not implied. RoHS status based on EUDirective2002/95/EC (at time of this document revision). Storage Temperature (TSTG) (Non-Operating Storage) The information in this publication is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed by RF Micro Devices, Inc. ("RFMD") for its use, nor for any infringement of patents, or other rights of third parties, resulting from its use. No license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of RFMD. RFMD reserves the right to change component circuitry, recommended application circuitry and specifications at any time without prior notice. Notes: 1 TAMBIENT =22C unless otherwise noted; exceeding any one of these absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. 2Operating at absolute maximum V continuously is not recommended. If operation D at 10V is considered then IDS must be reduced in order to keep the part within its thermal power dissipation limits. Therefore VGS is restricted to <-0.5V. 3Total Power Dissipation to be de-rated as follows above 22C: P TOT =3.6(0.024W/C)xTHS, where THS =heatsink or ambient temperature above 22C. Example: For a 85C carrier temperature: PTOT =3.6-(0.024x(85-22))=2.09W 4Total Power Dissipation (P TOT) defined as (PDC +PIN)-POUT, where PDC: DC Bias Power, PIN: RF Input Power, POUT: RF Output Power. 5Users should avoid exceeding 80% of 2 or more Limits simultaneously. 6Thermal Resistivity specification assumes a Au/Sn eutectic die attach onto an Auplated copper heatsink or rib.

Rev A1 DS090612 FPD1500 Preferred Assembly Instructions GaAs devices are fragile and should be handled with great care. Specially designed collets should be used where possible. The back of the die is metallized and the recommended mounting method is by the use of conductive epoxy. Epoxy should be applied to the attachment surface uniformly and sparingly to avoid encroachment of epoxy onto the top face of the die. Ideally it should not exceed half the chip height. For automated dispense Ablestick LMISR4 is recommended and for manual dispense Ablestick 84-1 LMI or 84-1 LMIT are recommended. These should be cured at a temperature of 150C for one hour in an oven especially set aside for epoxy curing only. If possible the curing oven should be flushed with dry nitrogen. The gold-tin (80% Au 20% Sn) eutectic die attach has a melting point of approximately 280C but the absolute temperature being used depends on the leadframe material used and the particular application. The maximum time at used should be kept to a minimum. This part has gold (Au) bond pads requiring the use of gold (99.99% pure) bondwire. It is recommended that 25.4mm diameter gold wire be used. Recommended lead bond technique is thermocompression wedge bonding with 0.001" (25m) diameter wire. Bond force, time stage temperature and ultrasonics are all critical parameters and the settings are dependent on the setup being used and application. Ultrasonic or thermosonic bonding is not recommended. Bonds should be made from the die first and then to the mounting substrate or package. The physical length of the bondwires should be minimized especially when making RF or ground connections. Handling Precautions To avoid damage to the devices, care should be exercised during handling. Proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions should be observed at all stages of storage, handling, assembly, and testing. ESD/MSL Rating These devices should be treated as Class 0 (0V to 250V) using the human body model as defined in JEDEC Standard No. 22A114. Further information on ESD control measures can be found in MIL-STD-1686 and MIL-HDBK-263. This is an unpackaged part and therefore no MSL rating applies. Application Notes and Design Data Application Notes and design data including S-parameters, noise paramters, and device model are available on request from www.rfmd.com. Reliability An MTTF of 4.2 million hours at a channel temperature of 150C is achieved for the process used to manufacture this device.
