ESCRIPTION
:
The FMA219 is a 2-stage, reactively matched
pHEMT low-noise MMIC amplifier designed for
use over 7.0 to 11.0 GHz. The amplifier
requires a single +3V supply and one off-chip
component for supply de-coupling. Both the
input and output ports are DC de-coupled.
Grounding of the amplifier is provided by
plated thru-vias to the bottom of the die, no
additional ground is required. The amplifier is
unconditionally stable over all load states (-45
to +85°C), and conditionally stable if the input
port is open-circuited.

NSTRUCTIONS
:
GaAs devices are fragile and should be
handled with great care. Specially designed
collets should be used where possible.
The back of the die is metallised and the
recommended mounting method is by the use
of
conductive
epoxy
following
the
manufacturer’s
recommended
curing
temperature.
For eutectic 80/20 gold/tin
solder, use a stage temperature of 280-300°C
for a maximum time of 60s. Use forming gas
(90%N2, 10% H2) for best results.
Recommended lead bond technique is
thermocompression wedge bonding with 25µm
diameter wire. The bond tool force shall be
35-38g. Bonding stage temperature shall be
230-240°C, heated tool (150-160°C) is
recommended.
Ultrasonic bonding is not
