• High linearity and gain
• Low noise figure
Description
Agilent Technologies’s
ATF-531P8 is a single-voltage
high linearity, low noise
E-pHEMT housed in an 8-lead
JEDEC-standard leadless
plastic chip carrier (LPCC
[3]
)
package. The device is ideal as
a high linearity, low-noise,
medium-power amplifier. Its
operating frequency range is
from 50 MHz to 6 GHz.
The thermally efficient package
measures only 2 mm x 2 mm x
0.75 mm. Its backside
metalization provides excellent
thermal dissipation as well as
visual evidence of solder reflow.
The device has a Point MTTF of
over 300 years at a mounting
temperature of +85°C. All
devices are 100% RF & DC tested.
Note:
1. Enhancement mode technology employs a
single positive V
gs
, eliminating the need of
negative gate voltage associated with
conventional depletion mode devices.
2. Refer to reliability datasheet for detailed
MTTF data.
3. Conforms to JEDEC reference outline MO229
for DRP-N
4. Linearity Figure of Merit (LFOM) is essentially
OIP3 divided by DC bias power.
