Product Description The ALP280 W-band InP HEMT Low Noise

Amplifier is a 5-Stage, broadband, ultra low noise

amplifier MMIC. It can be used in applications

such as W-band Imaging, Radar, commercial

digital microwave radios and wireless LANs. The

small die size allows for extremely compact

packaging. To ensure rugged and reliable

operation, HEMT devices are fully passivated.

Both bond pad and backside metallization are

Ti/Au, which is compatible with conventional die

attach, thermocompression and thermosonic wire

bonding assembly techniques.

Recommended Assembly Notes

1. Bypass caps should be 100 pF (approximately) ceramic (single-layer) placed no farther than 30 mils

from the amplifier.

2. Best performance obtained from use of < 6 mil (long) by 1.5 by 0.5 mil ribbons on input and output.
