AMMC-6241 2643 GHz Low Noise Amplifier Data Sheet Chip Size: 1900 x 800 mm (74.8 x 31.5 mils) Chip Size Tolerance: 10 mm ( 0.4 mils) Chip Thickness: 100 10 mm (4 0.4 mils) RF Pad Dimensions: 110 x 90 mm (4.3 x 3.5 mils) DC Pad Dimensions: 100 x 100 mm (3.9 x 3.9 mils) Description Features Wide frequency range: 26 - 43 GHz Avago Technologies AMMC-6241 is a high gain, low-noise amplifier that operates from 26 GHz to 43 GHz. This LNA High gain: 20 dB provides a wide-band solution for system design since Low 50 Noise Figure: 2.7 dB it covers several bands, thus, reduces part inventory. 50 Input and Output Match The device has input / output match to 50 Ohm, is un- conditionally stable and can be used as either primary Flat Gain Response or sub-sequential low noise gain stage. By eliminating Single 3V Supply Bias the complex tuning and assembly processes typically required by hybrid (discrete-FET) amplifiers, the AMMC- Applications 6241 is a cost-eeff ctive alternative in the 26 - 43 GHz com - Microwave Radio systems munications receivers. The backside of the chip is both RF Satellite VSAT, DBS Up/Down Link and DC ground. This helps simplify the assembly process and reduces assembly related performance variations LMDS & Pt-Pt mmW Long Haul and costs. It is fabricated in a PHEMT process to provide Broadband Wireless Access exceptional noise and gain performance. For improved (including 802.16 and 802.20 WiMax) reliability and moisture protection, the die is passivated WLL and MMDS loops at the active areas. 1 AMMC-6241 Absolute Maximum Ratings Symbol Parameters/Conditions Units Min.
