HMC578 v00.0506 GaAs MMIC x2 ACTIVE FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER, 24 - 33 GHz OUTPUT Typical Applications Features High Output Power: +17 dBm Low Input Power Drive: 0 to +6 dBm Fo Isolation: >25 dBc @ Fout= 28 GHz 100 KHz SSB Phase Noise: -132 dBc/Hz Single Supply: +5V@ 81 mA Die Size: 1.18 mm x 1.23 mm x 0.1 mm 2 FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS - CHIP The HMC578 is suitable for: * Clock Generation Applications: SONET OC-192 & SDH STM-64 * Point-to-Point & VSAT Radios * Test Instrumentation * Military EW / Radar * Space Functional Diagram General Description The HMC578 die is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology. When driven by a +3 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +17 dBm typical output power from 24 to 33 GHz. The Fo and 3Fo isolations are >25 dBc and >36 dBc respectively at 28 GHz. The HMC578 is ideal for use in LO multiplier chains for Pt to Pt & VSAT Radios yielding reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. The low additive SSB Phase Noise of -132 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise performance.

If 0.254mm (10 mil) thick alumina thin film substrates must be used, the die should be raised 0.150mm (6 mils) so that the surface of the die is coplanar with the surface of the substrate. One way to accomplish this is to attach the 0.102mm (4 mil) thick die to a 0.150mm (6 mil) thick molybdenum heat spreader (moly-tab) which is then attached to the ground plane (Figure 2). Microstrip substrates should be brought as close to the die as possible in order to minimize ribbon bond length. Typical die-to-substrate spacing is 0.076mm (3 mils). Gold ribbon of 0.075 mm (3 mil) width and minimal length <0.31 mm (<12 mils) is recommended to minimize inductance on RF, LO & IF ports. An RF bypass capacitor should be used on the Vdd input. A 100 pF single layer capacitor (mounted eutectically or by conductive epoxy) placed no further than 0.762mm (30 Mils) from the chip is recommended. 0.102mm (0.004") Thick GaAs MMIC Wire 3 mil Ribbon Bond 2 FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS - CHIP 2 - 49 0.076mm (0.003") RF Ground Plane 0.127mm (0.005") Thick Alumina Thin Film Substrate Figure 1. Handling Precautions Follow these precautions to avoid permanent damage. Storage: All bare die are placed in either Waffle or Gel based ESD protective containers, and then sealed in an ESD protective bag for shipment. Once the sealed ESD protective bag has been opened, all die should be stored in a dry nitrogen environment. Cleanliness: Handle the chips in a clean environment. DO NOT attempt to clean the chip using liquid cleaning systems. Storage: All bare die are placed in either Waffle or Gel based ESD protective containers, and then sealed in an ESD protective bag for shipment. Once the sealed ESD protective bag has been opened, all die should be stored in a dry nitrogen environment. Static Sensitivity: Follow ESD precautions to protect against > 250V ESD strikes. 0.102mm (0.004") Thick GaAs MMIC Ribbon Bond 0.076mm (0.003") RF Ground Plane 0.150mm (0.005") Thick Moly Tab 0.254mm (0.010") Thick Alumina Thin Film Substrate Figure 2. Transients: Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is applied. Use shielded signal and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up. General Handling: Handle the chip along the edges with a vacuum collet or with a sharp pair of bent tweezers. The surface of the chip has fragile air bridges and should not be touched with vacuum collet, tweezers, or fingers. Mounting The chip is back-metallized and can be die mounted with AuSn eutectic preforms or with electrically conductive epoxy. The mounting surface should be clean and flat. Eutectic Die Attach: A 80/20 gold tin preform is recommended with a work surface temperature of 255 deg. C and a tool temperature of 265 deg. C. When hot 90/10 nitrogen/hydrogen gas is applied, tool tip temperature should be 290 deg. C. DO NOT expose the chip to a temperature greater than 320 deg. C for more than 20 seconds. No more than 3 seconds of scrubbing should be required for attachment. Epoxy Die Attach: Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the chip once it is placed into position. Cure epoxy per the manufacturer's schedule. Wire Bonding Ball or wedge bond with 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter pure gold wire. Thermosonic wirebonding with a nominal stage temperature of 150 deg. C and a ball bonding force of 40 to 50 grams or wedge bonding force of 18 to 22 grams is recommended. Use the minimum level of ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable wirebonds. Wirebonds should be started on the chip and terminated on the package or substrate. All bonds should be as short as possible <0.31mm (12 mils).
