Typical parameters reflect performance in a tuned application circuit at +25 C. 1. Test conditions unless otherwise noted: 25C, +5V Vsupply, 2140 MHz, in tuned application circuit. 2. 3OIP measured with two tones at an output power of +15 dBm/tone separated by 1 MHz. The suppression on the largest IM3 product is used to calculate the 3OIP using a 2:1 rule. 3. This corresponds to the quiescent current or operating current under small-signal conditions into pins 6, 7, and 8. It is expected that the current can increase by an additional 90 mA at P1dB. Pin 1 is used as a reference voltage for the internal biasing circuitry. It is expected that Pin 1 will pull 10.8 mA of current when used with a series bias resistor of R1=51 .

The recommended circuit configurations shown previously in this datasheet have the device operating in Class A operation. Lowering the current has little effect on the gain, OIP3, and P1dB performance of the device, but will slightly lower the ACLR/ACPR performance of the device as shown below. An example of the measured data below represents the AH215 / ECP100 measured and configured for 2.14 GHz applications. It is expected that variation of the bias current for other frequency applications will produce similar performance results.

The thermal resistance is referenced from the junction-tocase at a case temperature of 85 C. Tjc is a function of the voltage at pins 6 and 7 and the current applied to pins 6, 7, and 8 and can be calculated by: Tjc = Tcase + Rth * Vcc * Icc 2.

Tjc is a function of the voltage at pins 6 and 7 and the current applied to pins 6, 7, and 8 and can be calculated by: Tjc = Tcase + Rth * Vcc * Icc 2. This corresponds to the typical biasing condition of +5V, 450 mA at an 85 C case temperature. A minimum MTTF of 1 million hours is achieved for junction temperatures below 247 C.

ESD / MSL Information ESD Rating: Value: Test: Standard: Class 1B Passes between 500 and 1000V Human Body Model (HBM) JEDEC Standard JESD22-A114 MSL Rating: Level 3 at +235 C convection reflow Standard: JEDEC Standard J-STD-020 Mounting Config. Notes 1. A heatsink underneath the area of the PCB for the mounted device is strictly required for proper thermal operation. Damage to the device can occur without the use of one. 2. Ground / thermal vias are critical for the proper performance of this device. Vias should use a .35mm (#80 / .0135") diameter drill and have a final plated thru diameter of .25 mm (.010"). 3. Add as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance. 4. Mounting screws can be added near the part to fasten the board to a heatsink. Ensure that the ground / thermal via region contacts the heatsink. 5. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PC board in the region where the board contacts the heatsink. 6. RF trace width depends upon the PC board material and construction. 7. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum. 8. All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Angles are in degrees.
