APPLICATION INFORMATION
5000 pF
MA08509D
Assembly:
Chip dimensions:
4.6 mm x 4.6 mm, .003”
thickness.
Die attach:
Use AuSn (80/20) 1-2 mil.
preform solder. Limit time @ 300
°C
to less
than 5 minutes.
Wirebonding:
Bond @ 160
°C
using
standard ball or thermal compression wedge
bond techniques. For DC pad connections,
use either ball or wedge bonds. For best RF
performance, use wedge bonds of shortest
length, although ball bonds are also
acceptable.
