Please use proper ESD precautions when handling device s of evaluation board. Evaluation board requires additional external fan cooling. Connect all supplies before powering evaluation board. 1. Connect RF cables at RFIN and RFOUT. 2. Connect ground to the ground supply terminal, and ensure th at both the VG and VD grounds are also connected to this ground terminal. 3. Apply -5V to VG. 4. Apply 28V to VD. 5. Increase V G until drain current reaches 88mA or desired bias point. 6. Turn on the RF input. Typical test data provided is measured to SMA connector reference plane, and include evaluation board / broadband bias network mismatch and losses.

Device Handling/Environmental Conditions RFMD does not recommend operating this device with typical drain voltage applied and the gate pinched off in a high humidity, high temperature environment. GaN HEMT devices are ESD sensitive materials. Please use pr oper ESD precautions when handling devices or evaluation boards. DC Bias The GaN HEMT device is a depletion mode high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). At zero volts V GS the drain of the device is saturated and uncontrolled drain current will destroy the transistor. The gate voltage must be taken to a potential lower than the source voltage to pinch off the device prior to applying the drain voltage, taking care not to exceed the gate voltage maxi - mum limits. RFMD recommends applying VGS = -5V before applying any VDS. RF Power transistor performance capabilities are determined by the applied quiescent drain current. This drain current can be adjusted to trade off power, linearity, and efficiency charac teristics of the device. The recommended quiescent drain current (IDQ) shown in the RF typical performance table is chosen to best represent the operational characteristics for this device, con- sidering manufacturing variations and expected performance. The user may choose alternate conditions for biasing this device based on performance tradeoffs. Mounting and Thermal Considerations The thermal resistance provided as RTH (junction to case) represents only the packaged device thermal characteristics. This is measured using IR microscopy capturing the device under test temperature at the hottest spot of the die. At the same time, the package temperature is measured using a thermocouple touching the backside of the die embedded in the device heat sink but sized to prevent the measurement system from impacting th e results. Knowing the dissipated power at the time of the measurement, the thermal resistance is calculated. In order to achieve the advertised MTTF, proper heat removal must be considered to maintain the junction at or below the max- imum of 200°C. Proper thermal design includes consideration of ambient temperature and the thermal resistance from ambi- ent to the back of the package including heat sinking syst ems and air flow mechanisms. Incorporating the dissipated DC power, it is possible to calculate the junction temperature of the device
