MMIC power amplifier has a saturated pulsed output
power of 41 dBm and a large signal gain of 21 dB.
The power amplifier can be biased using a direct
gate voltage or using an on chip gate bias circuit.
This device is well suited for communication and
radar applications.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
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
devices.
1. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
2. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
3. Operating at nominal conditions with T
J
≤ +175°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 10
6
hours.
4. Junction Temperature (T
