Broadband’s GaAs pHEMT device model
technology, and is based upon electron beam
lithography to ensure high repeatability and
uniformity.The device comes in a RoHS compliant
7x7mm QFN Surface Mount Package offering
excellent RF and thermal properties.This device
has been designed for use in 38 GHz
(1) Channel temperature directly affects a device's MTTF. Channel temperature should
be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
(2) For saturated performance it recommended that the sum of (2*Vdd + abs(Vgg)) <9V
