Description
The TriQuint TGA8344-SCC features two cascaded monolithic low-noise distributed
amplifiers with on-chip bias operating from 2 to 18 GHz. This die offers the
advantage of high gain, typically 19 dB, in compact die size with simplified biasing
configuration. Noise figure is typically 4 dB. The two cascade amplifiers have
eighteen 122 um gatewidth FETs providing 16 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain
compression. Input return loss is typically 14 dB from 2 to 18 GHz and output return
loss is typically 13 dB. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the
backside metallization. The TGA8344-SCC small size and high gain make it
suitable for use in a variety of wide-band electronic commercial and warfare
systems.
Bond pad and backside metallization is gold plated for compatibility with eutectic
alloy attachment methods as well as the thermocompression wire-bonding
processes. The TGA8344-SCC is supplied in chip form and is readily assembled
using automated equipment.
