The AMMC-6440 MMIC is a
broadband 1W power amplifier
designed for use in
transmitters that operate in
various frequency bands
• 5.5 Volt, -0.7 Volt, 950mA
operation
between 37GHz and 42GHz.
This MMIC optimized for linear
operation with an output third
order intercept point (OIP3) of
38dBm. At 42GHz it provides
28dBm of output power (P-
1dB) and 14dB of gain. The
device has input and output
matching circuitry for use in
50 Ω environments. The
temperature compensated RF
power detection circuit that
enables power detection of
0.25V/W. DC bias is simple
and the device operates on
widely available 5.5V for
current supply (negative
voltage only needed for Vg).
It is fabricated in a PHEMT
process for exceptional power
and gain performance.
Applications
• Microwave Radio systems
• LMDS & Pt-Pt mmW Long Haul
• 802.16 & 802.20 WiMax BWA
• WLL and MMDS loops
• Commercial grade military
• Can be driven by AMMC-6345,
increasing overall gain.

Note:
1. Operation in excess of any one of these conditions may result in permanent damage to this device.
Note: These devices are ESD sensitive. The following precautions are strongly recommended.
Ensure that an ESD approved carrier is used when dice are transported from one destination to
another. Personal grounding is to be worn at all times when handling these devices
