THEORY OF OPERATION
The HMC-C074 package contains four mounting locations for
screws that can secure the amplifier package in dynamic
applications and for thermal contact. Ensure that the backside
case temperature never exceeds 70°C during operation by
attaching the amplifier to a heat sink of suitable size. When
operating with the backside case temperatures greater than
70°C, the lifetime of the device reduces.
Prior to applying dc voltages, terminate both the RF input and
RF output to 50 Ω. If dc voltages are applied to the device, do
not disconnect the RF output.
