Description
The AMMC-6425 MMIC is a broadband 1W power amplifier
designed for use in transmitters that operate in various
frequency bands between 18GHz and 28GHz. This MMIC
optimized for linear operation with an output third order
intercept point (OIP3) of 38dBm. At 27GHz it provides
30dBm of output power (P-1dB) and 20dB of gain. The
device has input and output matching circuitry for use
in 50 Ω environments. The AMMC-6425 also integrates
a temperature compensated RF power detection circuit
that enables power detection of 0.3V/W. DC bias is simple
and the device operates on widely available 5V for cur-
rent supply (negative voltage only needed for Vg). It is
fabricated in a PHEMT process for exceptional power and
gain performance. For improved reliability and moisture
protection, the die is passivated at the active areas.
