DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The FPD10000V is a discrete depletion mode AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic High Electron
Mobility Transistor (pHEMT), optimized for WiMAX (WMAN) IEEE 802.16 power amplifiers.
The device can be biased from Class C (I
DQ
< 200 mA), to Class A (I
DQ
= 1.0 1.5 A) to deliver
optimal linear power over the desired output power range. The FPD10000V is also available in
packaged form.

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. This product has be tested to Class 1A (> 250V but < 500V) using JESD22 A114, Human
Body Model, and to Class A, (< 200V) using JESD22 A115, Machine Model..
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The recommended die attach is gold/tin eutectic solder under a nitrogen atmosphere. Stage
temperature should be 280-290
C; maximum time at temperature is one minute. The recommended
wire bond method is thermo-compression wedge bonding with 1.0 mil (0.025 mm) gold wire. Stage
temperature should be 250-260
C.

APPLICATIONS NOTES & DESIGN DATA
Recommendations on matching circuits is available from your local Filtronic Sales Representative or
directly from the factory. User must ensure that proper bias sequencing is observed: Gate bias
must be applied before Drain bias, and during power-down the Drain bias must be removed
first.
BONDING / ASSEMBLY DIAGRAM
Notes:
25
m (0.001 in.) gold wire is recommended. No Source wire bonds are needed, device
features Source thru-vias. 16 bonds each side, Gate and Drain.
User must ensure that the die attach material is uniform and free of voiding underneath the
die to ensure proper thermal heatsinking. A useful guideline is a 0.001 0.002 in. (0.025
0.050 mm) fillet of die attach material all around the periphery of the die.
All information and specifications are subject to change without notice.
