Applications
The MMA062020 is a GaAS PHEMT amplifier designed for Class-A condition, flat gain performance
from 6GHz to 22GHz. It is applicable for cascadable gain stage for EW amplifiers, buffer stages, LO drivers, and
transmitter amplifiers used in commercial communication systems. This amplifier is provided as a bare die
format in a Gel-pak.
Biasing and Operation
The MMA0622020 is normally biased with a single positive supply voltage connected to both Vd1 and
Vd2 pins. The recommended drain supply voltages are 3 to 6 volts. RF input and output ports are DC decoupled
internally. Typical DC supply connection with bi-passing capacitors for the MMA062020 is shown in following
pages.
Optional gate pads (Vg1 and Vg2) are also provided to allow adjustments in gain, RF output power, and
DC power dissipation, if necessary. No connection to the gate pads is needed for single drain-bias operation.
However, for custom applications, the DC current flowing through the input and/or output gain stage may be
adjusted by applying a voltage to the gate bias pad(s) as shown in Figure 5. A negative gate-pad voltage will
decrease the drain current. The gate-pad voltage is approximately zero volts during operation with no DC gate
supply. Refer to the absolute maximum rating table for allowing DC and thermal conditions.
Assembly Techniques
GaAs MMICs are ESD sensitive. ESD preventive measures must be employed in all aspects of storage,
handling, and assembly. MMIC ESD precautions, handling considerations, die attach and bonding methods are
critical factors in successful GaAs MMIC performance and reliability.
