DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The FP750QFN is a high performance, leadless, encapsulated packaged AlGaAs/InGaAs/AlGaAs
pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) intended for applications requiring low
noise figure, medium output power and/or high dynamic range. It utilizes a 0.25
m x 750 m
Schottky barrier gate, defined by electron-beam photolithography. The FP750's active areas are
passivated with Si
3
N
4
, and the QFN package is ideal for low-cost, high-performance applications
that require a surface-mount package.
The FP750QFN is designed for commercial systems for use in low noise amplifiers and oscillators
operating over the RF and Microwave frequency ranges. The low noise figure makes it appropriate
for use in receivers in WLL/RLL, WLAN, and GPS. This device is also suitable for PCS and GSM
base station front-ends and other applications to 15 GHz.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
To avoid damage to the devices care should be exercised during handling. Proper Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) precautions should be observed at all stages of storage, handling, assembly, and
testing. These devices should be treated as Class 1A (0-500 V). Further information on ESD control
measures can be found in MIL-STD-1686 and MIL-HDBK-263.
