Description
The MAAP-010169 is a two stage MMIC power
amplifier designed for broadband high power
applications. It can be used as either a driver or an
output stage amplifier. This device is fully matched
input and output to 50 Ω which eliminates any
sensitive external RF tuning components.
The device is packaged in a lead free 10-lead
flanged package for high volume manufacturing.
The MAAP-010169 is fabricated using a high
reliability pHEMT process, to realize good power
added efficiency and gain. The pHEMT process
features full passivation for high performance and
reliability.

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.
* Restrictions on Hazardous Substances,
European Union Directive 2002/95/EC.

Operating the MAAP-010169
The MAAP-010169 is static sensitive. Please
handle with care. To operate the device, follow
these steps. Ramp down or shutdown in reverse
order (gate bias on first and off last). All VGG pins
should have the same voltage applied at all times.
1. Apply VGG (-1.5 V).
2. Apply VDD (10 V Typical).
3. Set IDQ by adjusting VGG.
4. Apply RFIN.

sustained operation near these survivability limits.
5. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
6. Operating temperatures >25°C will require regulation of
dissipated power to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C. Refer to the
