General Device Information
The CMPA2560025F is a two stage GaN HEMT MMIC Power Amplifier, which operates between 2.5- 6.0 GHz.
The amplifier typically provides 25 dB of small signal gain and 25 W saturated output power with an associated power
added efficiency of better than 30 %. The wideband amplifier’s input and output are internally matched to 50 Ohm.
The amplifier requires bias from dedicated ports. The RF-input and output both require an external DC-block. DC volt-
age should not be applied to the RF output pin due to the internal matching elements. The two gate pins, G1 and G2,
are internally connected so it is sufficient to apply bias to only one of them. The drain pins, D1 and D2, should both
be connected to the drain supply. The component has internal DC-decoupling on the gate and drain pins, 1840pF and
920pF respectively. The test fixture also provides extra decoupling capacitors on all supply lines. Details of these com-
ponents can be found on the bill of materials.
The CMPA2560025F is provided in a lead-less package format. The input and output connections are gold
plated to enable gold bond wire attach at the next level assembly.
The measurements in this data sheet were taken on devices wire-bonded to the test fixture with 2 mil gold
bond wires. All losses associated with the test fixture are included in the measurements.
