The packaged amplifier comes in an air cavity 7 mm
surface mount package with a copper coin paddle
and is comprised of a two stage power amplifier
MMIC. The device includes on-chip ESD protection
structures and DC by-pass capacitors to ease the
implementation and volume assembly of the
packaged part.
The device is specifically designed for use in
7 GHz point-to-point radios for cellular backhaul
applications.

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
Class 1A HBM devices.
5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
7.
Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤ 150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 10
6
hours. Channel temperature should be kept
as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
