General Description
Mimix Broadband’s three stage 8.5-11.0 GHz GaAs
MMIC power amplifier has a large signal gain of 21.0
dB with a +40.0 dBm saturated output power and also
includes on-chip gate bias circuitry.This MMIC uses
Mimix Broadband’s 0.5 m GaAs PHEMT device model
technology, and is based upon optical gate
Absolute Maximum Ratings
lithography to ensure high repeatability and
uniformity.The chip has surface passivation to protect
and provide a rugged part with backside via holes
and gold metallization to allow either a conductive
epoxy or eutectic solder die attach process.This
device is well suited for radar applications.
