Description
AMMC-6420 MMIC is a broadband 1W power amplifier
designed for use in frequency bands between 6 to 18GHz.
It is a cost-effective alternative in commercial communica-
tions systems to a discrete FET hybrid. The MMIC has a
partial input and output match to 50Ω but can be easily
externally matched by single element for narrow band
frequency coverage The MMIC is unconditionally stable
over all frequencies and bias conditions. Gate voltage is
set using the Vg pin to optimize for linear or saturated
power amplification. A temperature compensated RF
output power detector circuit allows differential output
power detection of 0.3V/W at 18 GHz. For improved reli-
ability and moisture protection, the die is passivated at
the active areas.

Note:
1. Operation in excess of any one of these conditions may result in permanent damage to this device.
Note: These devices are ESD sensitive. The following precautions are strongly recommended. Ensure that an ESD
approved carrier is used when dice are transported from one destination to another. Personal grounding is to be worn
at all times when handling these devices.
