GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC1022ACHIPS is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), distributed power amplifier that operates from dc to 48 GHz. The amplifier provides 11.5 dB of small signal gain, 0.25 W (25 dBm) output power at 1 dB gain compression (P1dB), and a typical output third-order intercept (IP3) of 33 dBm, while requiring 150 mA from a 10 V supply on the VDD pin. Gain flatness is excellent from dc to 48 GHz at ±0.5 dB typical, making the

HMC1022ACHIPS ideal for military, space, and test equipment applications. The HMC1022ACHIPS also features inputs/outputs (I/Os) that are internally matched to 50 Ω, facilitating integration into multichip modules (MCMs). All data is taken with the chip connected via 0.075 mm × 0.025 mm (3 mil × 1 mil) ribbon bonds with a minimal length of 0.31 mm (12 mils).

THEORY OF OPERATION The HMC1022ACHIPS is a GaAs, pHEMT, MMIC, cascaded, distributed power amplifier. The cascaded distributed architecture uses a fundamental cell consisting of a stack of two field effect transistors (FETs) connected from source to drain. The basic schematic for a fundamental cell is shown in Figure 45. The fundamental cell is duplicated several times, with transmission lines connecting the drains of the top devices and the gates of the bottom devices, respectively. Additional circuit design techniques around each cell optimize the overall response. The major benefit of this architecture is that acceptable gain is maintained across a bandwidth that is far greater than what is typically provided by a single instance of the fundamental cell.

Figure 47. Typical Application Circuit

BIASING PROCEDURES Capacitive bypassing is required for both VGG1 and VGG2, as shown in Figure 47. The capacitors to ground required for the ACG1 through ACG4 pads act as low frequency terminations. This bypassing scheme helps flatten the overall frequency response by diminishing the gain at low frequencies.

The recommended biasing sequence during power-up is as follows:

1. Connect to ground. 2. Set VGG1 to −2 V to pinch off the drain current. 3. Set VDD to 10 V (the drain current is pinched off). 4. Set VGG2 to 4 V (the drain current is pinched off). 5. Adjust VGG1 in a positive direction until an IDQ of 150 mA is

obtained. 6. Apply the RF signal.

Data Sheet HMC1022ACHIPS

Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 17

The recommended biasing sequence during power-down is as follows:

1. Turn off the RF signal. 2. Set VGG1 to −2 V to pinch off the drain current. 3. Set VGG2 to 0 V. 4. Set VDD to 0 V. 5. Set VGG1 to 0 V.

All measurements for the HMC1022ACHIPS are taken using the typical application circuit (see Figure 47) configured as shown in Figure 46. The bias conditions shown in the Electrical Specifications section are the operating points recommended to optimize the overall performance. Unless otherwise noted, the data shown is taken using the recommended bias conditions. Operation of the HMC1022ACHIPS at different bias conditions may provide performance that differs from what is shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics section.

MOUNTING AND BONDING TECHNIQUES FOR MILLIMETERWAVE GaAs MMICs Attach the die directly to the ground plane eutectically or with conductive epoxy (see the Handling Precautions section, the Mounting section, and the Wire Bonding section).

Microstrip, 50 Ω, transmission lines on 0.127 mm (0.005”) thick alumina thin film substrates are recommended for bringing the radio frequency to and from the chip (see Figure 48). When using 0.254 mm (0.010”) thick alumina thin film substrates, raise the die 0.150 mm (0.005”) to ensure that the surface of the die is coplanar with the surface of the substrate. One way to accomplish this is to attach the 0.102 mm (0.004”) thick die to a 0.150 mm (0.005”) thick molybdenum (Mo) heat spreader (moly tab), which is then attached to the ground plane (see Figure 49).

Place the microstrip substrates as close to the die as possible to minimize bond wire length. Typical die to substrate spacing is 0.076 mm to 0.152 mm (0.003” to 0.006”).

Handling Precautions

To avoid permanent damage, follow these storage, cleanliness, static sensitivity, transient, and general handling precautions:

Place all bare die in either waffle or gel-based ESD protective containers and then seal the die in an ESD protective bag for shipment. Once the sealed ESD protective bag is opened, store all die in a dry nitrogen environment.

Handle the chips in a clean environment. Do not attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems.

Follow ESD precautions to protect against ESD strikes. While bias is applied, suppress instrument and bias supply

transients. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pick up.

Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the chip may have fragile air bridges and must not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or fingers.

Mounting

The chip is back metallized and can be die mounted with gold (Au)/tin (Sn) eutectic preforms or with electrically conductive epoxy. Ensure that the mounting surface is clean and flat.

When attaching eutectic die, an 80 Au/20 Sn preform is recommended with a work surface temperature of 255°C and a tool temperature of 265°C. When hot 90 nitrogen (N)/ 10 hydrogen (H) gas is applied, ensure that the tool tip temperature is 290°C. Do not expose the chip to a temperature greater than 320°C for more than 20 seconds. For attachment, no more than three seconds of scrubbing is required.

When attaching epoxy die, apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the schedule of the manufacturer.

Wire Bonding

RF bonds made with two 1 mil wires are recommended. Ensure that these bonds are thermosonically bonded with a force of 40 grams to 60 grams. DC bonds of a 0.001” (0.025 mm) diameter, thermosonically bonded, are recommended. Make

ball bonds with a force of 40 grams to 50 grams and wedge bonds with a force of 18 grams to 22 grams. Make all bonds with a nominal stage temperature of 150°C. Apply a minimum amount of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable bonds. Make all bonds as short as possible, less than 12 mils (0.31 mm).
