Description
The AMMC-6430 MMIC is a broadband nearly 1W power
amplifier designed for use in transmitters that operate
in various frequency bands between 25GHz and 33GHz.
This MMIC optimized for linear operation with an output
third order intercept point (OIP3) of 37dBm. At 30GHz it
provides 29dBm of output power (P-1dB) and 17dB of
gain. The device has input and output matching circuitry
for use in 50 Ω environments. The AMMC-6430 also inte-
grates 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 5.5V for
current 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.

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
