Description
Avago Technologies’ AMMC-6220 is a high gain, low-
noise amplier that operates from 6 GHz to 20 GHz. This
LNA provides a wide-band solution for system design
since it covers several bands, thus, reduces part inven-
tory. The device has input / output match to 50 Ohm, is
unconditionally stable and can be used as either primary
or sub-sequential low noise gain stage. By eliminating
the complex tuning and assembly processes typically
required by hybrid (discrete-FET) ampliers, the AMMC-
6220 is a cost-eective alternative in the 6 - 20 GHz com-
munications receivers. The backside of the chip is both RF
and DC ground. This helps simplify the assembly process
and reduces assembly related performance variations
and costs. It is fabricated in a PHEMT process to provide
exceptional noise and gain performance. For improved
reliability and moisture protection, the die is passivated
at the active areas.
