Description

The MAFC-010511 is an active frequency doubler

with an output frequency range of 16 - 24GHz. The

input power level ranges from -5 to +5 dBm,

delivering a typical output power of 17 dBm. The

device has excellent input and output return losses,

and high 1xFin and 3xFin isolations.

The MAFC-010511 is ideally suited for use in LO

chains in point-to-point radios for cellular backhaul

applications. The 3mm QFN package is RoHS

compliant and compatible with reflow temperatures

to 260°C.

Handling Procedures

The following precautions should be observed 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 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 TJ ≤ 160°C will ensure

MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.

8. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + Өjc * ((V * I) - (POUT - PIN))

Typical thermal resistance (Өjc) = 93°C/W.

a) For TC = 25°C,

TJ = 81°C @ 5 V, 130 mA, PIN = +5 dBm, POUT = 17 dBm

b) For TC = 85°C,

TJ =141°C @ 5 V, 130 mA, PIN = +5 dBm, POUT = 17 dBm

4. It is recommended to use active bias on gate voltages to keep the drain currents constant in order to maintain the best performance over

temperature.
