Description

The MAAM-009455 is a GaAs MMIC amplifier in a

lead-free 4 mm 20-lead PQFN package. The MMIC

design is configured as a pair of cascode MESFET

amplifiers for broadband performance. It is designed

for integration in a 75 Ω push-pull, low distortion,

amplifier circuit.

This device is ideally suited for use in CATV, FTTX,

DBS, and HDTV applications where low noise figure

and low distortion are required.

Absolute Maximum Ratings 6,7,8

Parameter Absolute Maximum

RF Input Power 6 dBm

Voltage 15.0 volts

Operating Temperature -40°C to +85°C

Junction Temperature9 +150°C

Storage Temperature -65°C to +150°C

6. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause

permanent damage to this device.

7. M/A-COM Technology Solutions does not recommend

sustained operation near these survivability limits.

8. These operating conditions will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.

9. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * (V * I)

Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 15° C/W.

a) For TC = 25°C,

TJ = 71°C @ 8 V, 385 mA

b) For TC = 85°C,

TJ = 130°C @ 8 V, 375 mA

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

devices.

An external protection circuit using an inexpensive

anti-parallel diode pair can be used to protect the

IC. Please reference application note AN3028 on

http://www.macomtech.com for further detail.
