Description
Agilent Technologies’s ATF-
501P8 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 medium-
power amplifier. Its operating
frequency range is from 400 MHz
to 3.9 GHz.
The thermally efficient package
measures only 2mm x 2mm x
0.75mm. 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 +85ºC. All devices
are 100% RF & DC tested.
Notes:
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.
