Description
The XX1002-QH is a 2.5 - 6.0 / 5.0 - 12.0 GHz QFN
active doubler that delivers +16 dBm of output
power. The device combines an active doubler with
an output buffer amplifier that delivers constant
power over a range of input powers. The device has
excellent rejection of the fundamental and harmonic
products and requires a single positive bias supply.
This device uses MACOM's GaAs HBT device
technology to ensure high reliability and uniformity.
The device comes in a low-cost 4 mm QFN surface
mount plastic package offering excellent RF and
thermal properties and is RoHS compliant.
This device is specifically designed for point-to-point
radio applications and is well suited for other
telecom applications such as SATCOM and VSAT.

PCB Layout
The device is operated by biasing VCC = 5 V which
will draw typically 102 mA quiescent / 125 mA un-
der RF drive. The device requires by-passing as
shown in the recommended layout with C1 = 1 nF
and C2 = 1 µF.

C2 1 µF 0805
Parts List
4. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
5. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
6. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ +150°C will ensure
MTTF > 1 x 106 hours.
7. Junction Temperature (TJ) = TC + ӨJC * (V * I)
Typical CW thermal resistance (ӨJC) = 77°C/W

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
Class 0 (200 V HBM) devices.
Lead-Free 4mm 24-lead PQFN†
† Reference Application Note S2083 for lead-free solder reflow recommendations.
Meets JEDEC moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
Plating is 100% matte tin over copper.
