Technical Note
P02221B2P
500mW InGaP HBT Amplifier
□Place more than 2 machine screws as close to the ground
pin (pin 4) as possible. The PCB is screwed on the
mounting plate or the heat sink to lower the thermal
resistance of the PCB.
♦Attention to Heat Radiation
In the layout design of the printed circuit board (PCB) on
which the InGaP HBT Amplifier are attached, the heat
radiation to minimize the device junction temperature should
be taken into account, since it significantly affects the MTTF
and RF performance. In any environment, the junction
temperature should be lower than the absolute maximum
rating during the device operation and it is recommended
that the thermal design has enough margin.
□Lay out a large ground pad area with multiple plated thru
holes around pin 4 of the device.
□The required matching and feedback circuit described in
the application circuit examples should be connected to the
device, although it is not shown in the figure below.
The junction temperature can be calculated by the following
formula.

Generally, there are two ways of heat radiation. One is the
plated thru hole and the other is the heat sink. Key points will
be illustrated in each case below. Note that no measure
against oscillation is adopted in the figures. In the design of
circuit and layout, you should take stabilizing into account if
necessary.

If you cannot get the junction temperature lower than the
absolute maximum rating only with the plated thru holes,
then you need to employ the heat sink. Attaching the heat
sink directly under pin 4 of the device improves the thermal
resistance between junction and ambient.
