Electrical Characteristics (T=25ºC)
The CMM6004-AH is a high dynamic range amplifier designed for
applications operating within the 0.05 to 6.0 GHz frequency range. It
is an ideal solution for numerous transmit and receive functions in
wireless local loop (WLL) and UNH applications where high linearity is
required.
The amplifier has the flexibility of being optimized for a number of
wireless applications. It is an ideal solution when used as a driver
amplifier in applications including cellular and PCS (personal
communications services) operating from 0.8 to 2.2 GHz; MMDS
(multichannel multipoint distribution systems) operating from 2.2 to
2.7 GHz; WLAN (wireless LAN) operating at 2.4 GHz; WiMAX and WLL
(wireless local loop) operating at 3.5 GHz; and HiperLAN (high
performance LAN) and U-NII (unlicensed national information
infrastructure) operating from 5.0 to 6.0 GHz.
The CMM6004-AH is packaged in a low-cost, space efficient, Land
Grid Array (LGA) package which provides excellent electrical stability
and low thermal resistance. All devices are 100% RF and DC tested.
With single input matching the part simplifies design by keeping
board space and cost to a minimum.

Package Attachment - This packaged product from Mimix Broadband is provided as a rugged surface mount package
compatible with high volume solder installation. Care should be taken not to apply heavy pressure to the top or base
material to avoid package damage. Vacuum tools or other suitable pick and place equipment may be used to pick and
place this part. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder connection so that good RF,
DC and ground connections are maintained. Voids or gaps can eventually lead not only to RF performance degradation,
but reduced reliability and life of the product due to thermal stress.
Mimix Lead-Free RoHS Compliant Program - Mimix has an active program in place to meet customer and governmental
requirements for eliminating lead (Pb) and other environmentally hazardous materials from our products. All Mimix
RoHS compliant components are form, fit and functional replacements for their non-RoHS equivalents. Lead plating of
our RoHS compliant parts is 100% matte tin (Sn) over copper alloy and is backwards compatible with current standard
SnPb low-temperature reflow processes as well as higher temperature (260°C reflow) “Pb Free” processes.
CAUTION! - Mimix Broadband MMIC Products contain gallium arsenide (GaAs) which can be hazardous to the human
body and the environment. For safety, observe the following procedures:
Caution: ESD Sensitive
Appropriate precautions in handling, packaging
and testing devices must be observed.
