ATF-501P8
High Linearity Enhancement Mode[1] Pseudomorphic HEMT
in 2x2 mm2 LPCC[3] Package
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies’s ATF-501P8 is a single-voltage high
linearity, low noise E-pHEMT housed in an 8-lead JEDEC-
standard leadless plastic chip carrier (LPCC[3]) package.
The device is ideal as a medium-power amplier. Its
operating frequency range is from 400 MHz to 3.9 GHz.
The thermally ecient package measures only 2mm
x 2mm x 0.75mm. Its backside metalization provides
excellent thermal dissipation as well as visual evidence
of solder reow. The device has a Point MTTF of over 300
years at a mounting temperature of +85ºC. All devices
are 100% RF & DC tested.

applications
• General purpose discrete E-pHEMT for other high
linearity applications
Pin Connections and Package Marking
Note:
Package marking provides orientation and identication:
“0P” = Device Code
“x” = Date code indicates the month of manufacture.
Notes:
1. Enhancement mode technology employs a single positive Vgs,
eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated with
conventional depletion mode devices.
2. Refer to reliability datasheet for detailed MTTF data.
3. Conforms to JEDEC reference outline MO229 for DRP-N.
4.
Linearity Figure of Merit (LFOM) is essentially OIP3 divided by DC bias
power.
