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
devices.
7. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
8. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.

MADC-010736
Receiver, High IIP3, SMD

Rev. V2
App Note [1] Biasing -
The MADC-010736 is operated by biasing V
D
1, V
D
2, and V
D
3 at 4.0 V. The
corresponding drain currents are set to 10 mA, 100 mA, and 180 mA respectively. V
G
4 requires a fixed voltage
bias of nominally –3.0 V. It is recommended to use active bias on V
G
1, V
G
2, V
G
3 to keep the currents in V
D
1,
V
D
2, and V
D
3 constant, in order to maintain the best performance over temperature. Depending on the supply
voltages available and the power dissipation constraints, the bias circuits may include a single transistor or a low
power operational amplifier, with a low value resistor in series with the drain supply to sense the current. Make
sure to sequence the applied voltage to ensure negative gate bias is available before applying the positive drain
supply.
App Note [2] I/Q -
For highest gain, best image rejection and lowest noise figure all 4 IF ports should be used. I/
I* and Q/Q* will combine through two 180 degree hybrid couplers generating inphase and quadrature phase
components. Inphase and quadrature signals then need to be combined through 90 degree hybrid combiner to
create IF output.
App Note [3] Board Layout -
It is recommended to provide 100 pF decoupling capacitors as close to the bias
pins as possible. Additional 10 nF and 1 µF on each of the bias lines are recommended placed a distance
further away.
