Description
M/A-COM’s AM52-0001 is a GaAs power amplifier in a thermally
efficient low cost SOIC-8 plastic package. The AM52-0001 is
designed for high efficiency 1.2 W output power and 21 dB of
associated gain in the 800-960 MHz frequency band.
The
AM52-0001 is unconditionally stable in both small and large signal
operation. It features flexible biasing for improved dynamic range
and off-chip matching for improved efficiency and flexibility.
The AM52-0001 is specifically designed for high efficiency final
output power amplification in FM, GFSK and FSK type systems,
such as AMPS, ETACS, NTACS, CT1, CDPD and ISM.
M/A-COM's AM52-0001 is fabricated using a mature 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs MESFET power process. The process features
full passivation for increased performance and reliability. The
AM52-0001 can be used with standard automated SMT assembly
equipment (See M/A-COM application note M558).

1. Noise power (30 KHz RBW), 45 MHz above TX Freq range, measured under rated output power conditions.
2. Parasitic Oscillation defined as any spurious output less than 60 dBc with respect to desired signal level. Measured with nominal Pin and an output
VSWR of 10:1 any phase, VDD = 4.8 V.
3. No permanent degradation with nominal Pin and an output VSWR of 10:1 at any phase (360° rotation in 10 sec.) with VDD up to 6V. .

DC Routing
Customer Defined
The PCB dielectric between RF traces and RF ground layers should
be chosen to reduce RF discontinuities between 50 Ω lines and
package pins. M/A-COM recommends an FR-4 dielectric thickness
of 0.008”(0.2 mm) yielding a 50 Ω line width of 0.015”(0.38 mm).
The recommended metalization thickness is 1 oz. copper and ground
metalization thickness is 2 oz.. Shaded traces are vias to DC
Routing layer and traces on DC Routing layer.
Biasing Procedure
The AM52-0001 requires that VGG bias be applied prior to ANY
VDD bias. Permanent damage will occur if this procedure is not
followed. All FETs in the PA will draw IDSS and damage internal
circuitry. Resistance added in seiries with Vg1 and Vg2 may degrade
performance.
