The amplifier provides 10 dB of small signal gain and a maximum output amplitude of 2.5V peak to peak, which makes it ideal for use in broadband wireless, fiber optic communication and test equipment applications. The amplifier die occupies 1.2 mm2 which facilitates easy integration into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs). The HMC-AUH312 can be used with or without a bias-tee and requires off-chip blocking components and bypass capacitors for the DC supply lines. Adjustable gate voltages allow for gain adjustment.

Vdd is especially sensitive to the bond parasitics. * Silver-filled conductive epoxy is used for die attachment. (Backside of the die should be grounded and the GND pads are connected to the backside metal through Vias) 4 MICROWAVE & OPTICAL DRIVER AMPLIFIERS - CHIP 4 - 25 Device Operation * These devices are susceptible to damage from Electrostatic Discharge. Proper precautions should be observed during handling, assembly and test. * The input and output to this device should be AC-coupled. Device Power Up Instructions 1. Ground the device 2. Bring Vg2 to +1.8V (no drain current) 3. Turn on Vdd to 0V. Bring Vdd to +8V (+5V if a bias tee is used to for Vd bias). +6V is minimum recommended Vdd 4. Turn on Vg1 to 0V. Adjust Vg1 should be adjusted to bring Id to 60mA. Device Power Down Instructions 1. Reverse the sequence identified above in steps 1 through 4.

If 0.254mm (10 mil) thick alumina thin film substrates must be used, the die should be raised 0.150mm (6 mils) so that the surface of the die is coplanar with the surface of the substrate. One way to accomplish this is to attach the 0.102mm (4 mil) thick die to a 0.150mm (6 mil) thick molybdenum heat spreader (moly-tab) which is then attached to the ground plane (Figure 2). Microstrip substrates should be placed as close to the die as possible in order to minimize bond wire length. Typical die-to-substrate spacing is 0.076mm to 0.152 mm (3 to 6 mils). 0.102mm (0.004") Thick GaAs MMIC Ribbon Bond 0.076mm (0.003") 4 MICROWAVE & OPTICAL DRIVER AMPLIFIERS - CHIP RF Ground Plane 0.127mm (0.005") Thick Alumina Thin Film Substrate Figure 1. Handling Precautions Follow these precautions to avoid permanent damage. Storage: All bare die are placed in either Waffle or Gel based ESD protective containers, and then sealed in an ESD protective bag for shipment. Once the sealed ESD protective bag has been opened, all die should be stored in a dry nitrogen environment. Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems. Static Sensitivity: strikes. Follow ESD precautions to protect against ESD 0.150mm (0.005") Thick Moly Tab 0.254mm (0.010" Thick Alumina Thin Film Substrate Figure 2. 0.102mm (0.004") Thick GaAs MMIC Ribbon Bond 0.076mm (0.003") RF Ground Plane Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up. General Handling: Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the chip has fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or fingers. Mounting The chip is back-metallized and can be die mounted with AuSn eutectic preforms or with electrically conductive epoxy. The mounting surface should be clean and flat. Eutectic Die Attach: A 80/20 gold tin preform is recommended with a work surface temperature of 255 C and a tool temperature of 265 C. When hot 90/10 nitrogen/hydrogen gas is applied, tool tip temperature should be 290 C. DO NOT expose the chip to a temperature greater than 320 C for more than 20 seconds. No more than 3 seconds of scrubbing should be required for attachment. Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer's schedule. Wire Bonding RF bonds made with 0.003" x 0.0005" ribbon are recommended. These bonds should be thermosonically bonded with a force of 40-60 grams. DC bonds of 0.001" (0.025 mm) diameter, thermosonically bonded, are recommended. Ball bonds should be made with a force of 40-50 grams and wedge bonds at 18-22 grams. All bonds should be made with a nominal stage temperature of 150 C. A minimum amount of ultrasonic energy should be applied to achieve reliable bonds. All bonds should be as short as possible, less than 12 mils (0.31 mm). 4 - 26 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com HMC-AUH312 v03.0209 GaAs HEMT MMIC MODULATOR DRIVER AMPLIFIER, 0.5 - 65 GHz Notes 4 MICROWAVE & OPTICAL DRIVER AMPLIFIERS - CHIP For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation: 20 Alpha Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373 Order On-line at www.hittite.com 4 - 27 |
