operates from 8 to 12 GHz providing a nominal gain
of 20 dB with excellent gain flatness, high OIP3
linearity of 26 dBm, and a mid-band noise figure of
1.6 dB. The part features a self-bias architecture
which requires only a single, positive supply.
The device is internally matched to 50 Ω input/
output and is well suited to multiple applications
including V
SAT
, radar and microwave radios due to
the part’s ease of use and excellent performance
parameters.

bias is needed. If C7 through C12 are
removed, traces must also be removed.
4. For optional adjustment of self-bias, apply DC gate voltage
between -1 V and +0.3 V. External components C7 through
C12 are required.
5. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be
connected to RF, DC and thermal ground.

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
HBM Class 1B devices.
6. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
7.
MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.

8. For best performance, ensure proper grounding at the device.
Recommended grounding is 9 vias beneath the ground
paddle, each with 10-mil diameter. Contact MACOM technical
support for recommended PCB layout details.
9. For self-bias, external components C7 through C12 are
optional. No V
G
bias is needed. If C7 through C12 are
removed, traces must also be removed. When using
self-bias, leave Vg1 and Vg2 pins open (do not ground).
10. For optional adjustment of self-bias, apply DC gate voltage
between -1 V and +0.3 V. External components C7 through
C12 are required.
