third order intercept point (OIP3) and 21 dBm output
P1dB provide excellent linearity for transmit lineups.
The packaged amplifier comes in an industry
standard lead free 4 mm QFN package. The device
includes on-chip ESD protection structures and DC
by-pass capacitors to ease the implementation and
volume assembly of the packaged part.
The device is specifically designed for use in 18 and
23 GHz point-to-point radios for cellular backhaul
applications.

Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
HBM Class 1B devices.
6. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
7. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these
survivability limits.
8. Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 10
