Stanford Microdevices’ SHF-0589 series is a high performance
GaAs Heterostructure FET housed in a low-cost surface-mount
plastic package. HFET technology improves breakdown voltage
while minimizing Schottky leakage current for higher power added
efficiency and improved linearity.
Output power at 1dB compression for the SHF-0589 is +34dBm
when biased for Class AB operation at 8V and 500mA. The
+45 dBm third order intercept makes it ideal for high dynamic
range, high intercept point requirements. They are well suited
for use in both analog and digital wireless communication
infrastructure and subscriber equipment including cellular PCS,
CDPD, wireless data, and pagers.
Adequate heat sinking must be provided for this part to avoid ex-
ceeding the maximum junction temperature. Methods include the
use of screws near the device, and filled vias beneath the part to
the ground plane. Refer to “Mounting and Thermal
Considerations” section on page 7 for more information.

NOTE: I/V curves were taken using pulse sampling techniques. This
results in low duty cycle currents through the device and therefore
very low power levels. It is not recommended that these measurements
be taken in d.c. mode, as excessive current could result in damage to
the device.
