CHA5012
X Band Driver Amplifier
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC
Description
The CHA5012 chip is a monolithic two-
stage medium power amplifier designed for
X band applications.
This device is manufactured using a GaInP
HBT process, including via holes through
the substrate and air bridges. A nitride
layer protects the transistors and the
passive components. Special heat removal
techniques are implemented to guarantee
high reliability.
To simplify the assembly process:
•
the backside of the chip is both RF
and DC grounded
•
bond pads and back side are gold
plated for compatibility with eutectic
die attach method and thermosonic
or thermocompression bonding
process.
