General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 10.0-40.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
distributed amplifier has a small signal gain of 23.0 dB
with a 5.0 dB noise figure. This MMIC uses Mimix
Broadband’s 0.15 µm GaAs PHEMT device model
technology, and is based upon electron beam
lithography to ensure high repeatability and uniformity.
The chip has surface passivation to protect and provide
a rugged part with backside via holes and gold
metallization to allow either a conductive epoxy or
eutectic solder die attach process. This device is well
suited for microwave, millimeter-wave wideband
military and fiber optic applications.

App Note [1] Biasing –
As shown in the bonding diagram, this device operates using a self-biased architecture and only requires one drain
bias. Bias is nominally Vd=5V, Id=190 mA.
App Note [2] Bias Arrangement -
Each DC pad (Vd) needs to have DC bypass capacitance (~100-200 pF) as close to the device as possible.
Additional DC bypass capacitance (~0.01 uF) is also recommended.
MTTF Graphs
These numbers were calculated based on accelerated life test information and thermal model analysis received from the fabricating foundry.
