17-GHz Low Noise Amplifier CHA9 Chip Biasing options This chip is self-biased, and flexibility is provided by the access to number of pads. The internal DC electrical schematic is given in order to use these pads in a safe way. The two requirements are: N 1: Not exceed Vds = 3.Volt (internal Drain to S ource voltage) N : Not biased in such a way that Vgs becomes posi tive. (internal Gate to Source voltage) We propose two standard biasing: Low Noise and low consumption: Vd =.V and B, D, E grounded All the other pads non connected (NC) Idd = ma & Pout-1dB = 1dBm Typical (Equivalent to A, B, C, D, E, F: non connected and Vd=.V; G1=G=G3=+1V Low Noise and higher output power Vd =.V and B, C, F grounded All the other pads non connected (NC) Idd = 7mA & Pout-1dB = 1dBm Typical Ref. : DSCHA9937-13 Dec 99 7/ Specifications subject to change without notice Route Départementale 1, B.P. - 911 ORSAY Cedex - FRANCE Tel.: +33 ()1 9 33 3 - Fax : +33 ()1 9 33 3 9
