gain of 17.0 dB with a noise figure of 3.0 dB. The
device comes in a RoHS compliant, 3x3mm QFN
package and requires only a single positive bias
supply.
The devices uses MACOM’s GaAs pHEMT device
model technology, and is based upon electron
beam lithography to ensure high repeatability and
uniformity.
The device is well suited to multiple receiver
applications which require broadband performance
with simple bias requirements and the ease of
volume manufacturing with 3x3mm QFN packaging.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
class 2 devices.
4. Channel temperature directly affects a device's MTTF. It is
recommended to keep channel temperature as low as possible
to maximize lifetime.

App Note [1] Biasing -
The device is operated with a single, positive bias supply. The device performance
is insensitive to changes in bias condition; however, gain and power handling can be slightly improved with
higher bias conditions without significantly affecting the noise figure performance. Typical biasing
conditions within the specified performance ranges are Vd=3 V, 35 mA, Vd=4 V, 45 mA, Vd=5 V, 55 mA.
