Description

M/A-COM’s MAAP-007649-000100 2 watt power amplifier utilizes GaAs HBT technology with a +20 Volt BVceo process for improved linearity performance, power efficiency, and high reliability, in a low cost 4 mm PQFN surface mount plastic package. The MAAP-007649-000100 incorporates an on-chip active bias network for ease of implementation, and maintains high linearity over temperature. The device operates from a single +7.5 volt supply and has a +4.5 volt reference pin for power down control capability. The MAAP-007649-000100 has been optimized as a power amplifier for RFID Reader applications, but can also be used for infrastructure and industrial applications, since it provides consistent performance over the entire 800 to 1000 MHz band.

All data is based on the Evaluation Circuit Board (page 6), which is tuned specifi- cally for 860 to 960 MHz (RFID Band), and is attached to a solid metal base for heat sinking. NOTE: Improper heat sinking can degrade performance. 2. The device is capable of operating from 800 to 1000 MHz, with an optimized I/O match over narrow bands. 3. DRM Mask: EPC Global Class 1 Generation Dense Reader Mode Spectral Mask. 4. Caution: Operation beyond Absolute Maximum Ratings can degrade performance or cause permanent damage. 5. Heat dissipates through several layers between the transistor junctions and metal baseplate. The PQFN packaged assembly (HBT MMIC die / conductive epoxy / metal slug interface) is mounted to the application circuit board using SN63 solder. The metal vias in the circuit board dissipate heat to the baseplate. Parameter Test Conditions Units Min Typ Max Frequency Range2 MHz 800 1000 Gain 860 to 930 MHz Band dB 19.5

EVALUATION CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT1,2,3,4 (Optimized for the 860 to 960 MHz RFID Band) Total Board Thickness = 42.0 mils. Board Size: 2.0 x 1.5 inches. 2. Via Geometry for the 4 mm PQFN package backside needs to provide a low-inductance ground and low thermal resistance path to the PCB back side ground. Via Diameter: 8.0 mils finished size with 1.0 mils minimum plating. At least 25 vias are required for thermal considerations. Additional top side metallization connected to ground vias is also recommended. 3. Heat sinking using a solid metal block below the PCB is recommended for optimum CW operation. Improper heat sinking below the PCB may degrade RF performance and / or reliability. 4. Evaluation circuit board assemblies use SnPb (tin lead) soldering process to attach all components, and are therefore not RoHS compliant.
