Description

The AM42-0002 is a three-stage MMIC linear power amplifier in a lead-free, ceramic bolt down style hermetic package. The AM42-0002 employs a fully matched chip with internally decoupled gate and drain bias networks and an output power detector. The AM42-0002 is designed to be operated from a constant voltage drain supply. The AM42-0002 is designed for use as an output stage or a driver, in applications for VSAT systems. This design is fully mono lithic and requires a minimum of external components. The AM42-0002 is fabricated using a mature 0.5 micron GaAs MESFET process. The process features full passivation for increased performance and reliability. This product is 100% RF tested to ensure compliance to performance specifications.

Nominal bias is obtained by first connecting –5 volts to pin 4 (VGG), followed by connection +9 volts to pin 6 (VDD). Note sequence. 5. RF ground and thermal interface is the flange (case bottom). Adequate heat sinking is required. 6. No DC bias voltage appears at the RF ports. 7. The DC resistance at the input port is an open circuit and at the output port is a short circuit. 8. For optimum IP3 performance, the VDD bypass capacitors should be placed within 0.5 inches of pin 6. 9. Resistor and capacitors surrounding the amplifier are suggestions and not included as part of the AM42-0002.
