Description
The HR5459-25B is designed for Radar system application frequencies from 5.4GHz to 5.9GHz and GaN HEMT technology has been
used that performs high breakdown voltage, wide bandwidth and high efficiency. HR5459-25B has been designed 2 stages to have
higher Gain at the wide frequency range of 5.4GHz ~5.9GHz. GaN HEMT technology has been used to every amplifier in it for better
reliability. Since it is high efficiency amplifier, it can perform at max 10% duty cycle and 50us of pulse width.

Recommended Pattern
* Mounting Configuration Notes
1. For the proper performance of the device, Ground / Thermal via holes must be designed to remove heat.
2. To properly use heatsink, ensure the ground/thermal via hole region to contact the heatsink. We recommend the mounting screws
be added near the heatsink to mount the board
3. In designing the necessary RF trace, width will depend upon the PCB material and construction.
4. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum thickness for the heatsink.
5. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PCB in the region where the board contacts the heatsink
6. We recommend adding as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance.

Precautions
HR5459-25B
This product is a Gallium Nitride Transistor.
The Gallium Nitride Transistor requires a Negative Voltage Bias which operates alongside a Positive Voltage Bias. These Biases are
applied in accordance to the Sequence during Turn-On and Turn-Off.
The Pallet Amplifier does not have a built-in Bias Sequence Circuit. Therefore, users need to either apply positive voltages and
negative voltages in the required sequence, or add an external Bias Circuit to this Amplifier.
The required sequence for power supply is as follows.
During Turn-On
1. Connect GND.
2. Apply Vgs1 and Vgs2.
3. Apply Vds.
4. Apply the RF Power.
During Turn-Off
1. Turn off RF power.
2. Turn off Vds, and then, turn off the Vgs1 and Vgs2.
3. Remove all connections.
