-3GHz Low Noise Amplifier CHA93 Chip Biasing This chip is a two stage amplifier, 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. Vd 5 5 IN OUT Vds1 Vds The two requirements are: Vg 1 Vg N 1: Not exceed Vds = 3.5V (internal Drain to Sour ce 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 = 3.5V and Id = 3mA ( Vg1=Vg) Low Noise and high output power: Vd =.V and Id = 5mA. A separate access to the gate voltages of the first and the output stage is provided. Nominal bias is obtained for a typical current of 3mA for the output stage and 15 ma for the first stage. The first step to bias the amplifier is to tune the Vg1 =-1V and Vg to drive 3mA for the full amplifier. Then Vg1 is reduced to obtain 5 ma of current through the amplifier.
