AMMP-6333
18-GHz to 33-GHz, 0.2-W Driver Amplifier
in SMT Package
Data Sheet
Description
The AMMP-6333 is a broadband 0.2-W driver amplifier
designed for use in transmitters operating in various frequency
bands from 18 GHz to 33 GHz. This small, easy-to-use device
provides over 23 dBm of output power (P-1dB) and more than
20 dB of gain at 25 GHz. It was optimized for linear operation
with an output power at the third order intercept point (OIP3)
of 30 dBm. The AMMP-6333 features a temperature
compensated RF power detection circuit that enables power
detection sensitivity of 0.3 V/W at 25GHz. It is fabricated using
Broadcom’s unique 0.25-m E-mode PHEMT technology, which
eliminates the need for negative gate biasing voltage.
Features
Frequency range: 18 GHz to 33 GHz

Electrical Specifications
Small/large-signal data measured in a fully de-embedded test fixture form T
A
= 25°C.
Pre-assembly into package performance verified 100 percent on-wafer per AMMC-6220 published specifications.
This final package part performance is verified by a functional test correlated to actual performance at one or more
frequencies.
Specifications are derived from measurements in a 50 test environment. Aspects of the amplifier performance may be
improved over a more narrow bandwidth by application of additional conjugate, linearity, or low noise (opt) matching.
All tested parameters guaranteed with measurement accuracy±2 dB for P1dB of 17.25 and 32 GHz ± 0.5 for Gain of 17 GHz, ±
1 dB for Gain of 25 and 32 GHz.
