AMMC 622 6 2 GHz Low Noise Amplifier Data Sheet Chip Size: 7 x 8 µm (67 x 3.5 mils) Chip Size Tolerance: ± µm (±.4 mils) Chip Thickness: ± µm (4 ±.4 mils) Pad Dimensions: x µm (4 ±.4 mils) Description Avago Technologies AMMC622 is a high gain, lownoise amplifier that operates from 6 GHz to 2 GHz. This LNA provides a wideband solution for system design since it covers several bands, thus, reduces part inventory. The device has input / output match to 5 Ohm, is unconditionally stable and can be used as either primary or subsequential low noise gain stage. By eliminating the complex tuning and assembly processes typically required by hybrid (discrete FET) amplifiers, the AMMC622 is a costeffective alternative in the 6 2 GHz communications receivers. The backside of the chip is both RF and DC ground. This helps simplify the assembly process and reduces assembly related performance variations and costs. It is fabricated in a PHEMT process to provide exceptional noise and gain performance. For improved reliability and moisture protection, the die is passivated at the active areas.

Biasing and Operation The AMMC622 is normally biased with a single positive drain supply connected to both D and D2 bond pads through the 2 bypass capacitors as shown in Figure 2. The recommended supply voltage is 3. It is important to have 2 separate pf bypass capacitors, and these two capacitors should be placed as close to the die as possible. The AMMC622 does not require a negative gate voltage to bias any of the three stages. No ground wires are needed because all ground connections are made with plated throughholes to the backside of the device. Refer the Absolute Maximum Ratings table for allowed DC and thermal conditions Assembly Techniques The backside of the MMIC chip is RF ground. For microstrip applications the chip should be attached directly to the ground plane (e.g. circuit carrier or heatsink) using electrically conductive epoxy [] For best performance, the topside of the MMIC should be brought up to the same height as the circuit surrounding it. This can be accomplished by mounting a gold plate metal shim (same length and width as the MMIC) under the chip which is of correct thickness to make the chip and adjacent circuit the same height. The amount of epoxy used for the chip and/or shim attachment should be just enough to provide a thin fillet around the bottom perimeter of the chip or shim. The ground plan should be free of any residue that may jeopardize electrical or mechanical attachment. The location of the RF bond pads is shown in Figure 2. Note that all the RF input and output ports are in a Ground SignalGround configuration. RF connections should be kept as short as reasonable to minimize performance degradation due to undesirable series inductance. A single bond wire is normally sufficient for signal connections, however double bonding with.7 mil gold wire or use of gold mesh [2] is recommended for best performance, especially near the high end of the frequency band. Thermosonic wedge bonding is preferred method for wire attachment to the bond pads. Gold mesh can be attached using a 2 mil round tracking tool and a tool force of approximately 22 grams and a ultrasonic power of roughly 55 db for a duration of 76 ± 8 ms. The guided wedge at an untrasonic power level of 64 db can be used for.7 mil wire. The recommended wire bond stage temperature is 5 ± 2 C. Caution should be taken to not exceed the Absolute Maximum Rating for assembly temperature and time. The chip is um thick and should be handled with care. This MMIC has exposed air bridges on the top surface and should be handled by the edges or with a custom collet (do not pick up the die with a vacuum on die center). This MMIC is also static sensitive and ESD precautions should be taken. Notes: [] Ablebond 84 LM silver epoxy is recommended. [2] BuckbeeMears Corporation, St. Paul, MN, 82623824 cc Out In Figure 9.
