Monolithic Broadband
Amplifier, 0.5 - 3.5GHz
The P35-4101-000-200 is a high performance monolithic
broadband amplifier designed for use in a wide range of
applications including telecommunications, instrumentation and
electronic warfare. The amplifier gives typically 10dB gain over the
frequency range 500MHz to 3.5GHz. The design is self biased
and requires the connection of a single 5V supply to the amplifier
output.
The die is fabricated using Bookham's F14 Gallium Arsenide
MESFET MMIC process. It is fully protected using Silicon Nitride
passivation for excellent performance and reliability.

Operation
To operate the P35-4101-000-200, a drain supply of 5V is connected to the
RFout via a suitable bias circuit. Typically a 200nH inductor and 10nF
decoupling capacitor can be used. The amplifier circuit is self biased and the
drain current will be typically 90mA at 5V. DC blocking capacitors of 330pF
should be used at both the input and output. A bondwire inductance of
around 0.3nH to 0.6nH will improve the high frequency return loss at the
input. The ground pad must be bonded with minimum inductance to a good
DC and RF ground. It is recommended that the die is mounted with silver
loaded epoxy and wire bonded to all pads with 25 m diameter gold wire
using thermal compression bonding. See application note P35-41AN3 for
more details.
