DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The FPD750P100 is a packaged AlGaAs/InGaAs pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor
(PHEMT), featuring a 0.25
m by 750 m Schottky barrier gate, defined by high-resolution stepper-
based photolithography. The recessed and offset Gate structure minimizes parasitics to optimize
performance. The epitaxial structure and processing have been optimized for reliable high-power
applications. The FPD750P100 also features Si

passivation and is also available in die form and
in the low cost plastic SOT89, SOT343, and DFN plastic packages.
Typical applications include commercial and other narrowband and broadband high-performance
amplifiers, including SATCOM uplink transmitters, PCS/Cellular low-voltage high-efficiency output
amplifiers, and medium-haul digital radio transmitters.

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 0 (< 250V) per JESD22-A114-B, Human Body
Model, and Class A (< 200V) per JESD22-A115-A, Machine Model.

APPLICATIONS NOTES & DESIGN DATA
Applications Notes are available from your local Filtronic Sales Representative or directly from the
factory. Complete design data, including S-parameters, noise data, and large-signal models are
available on the Filtronic web site.
RECOMMENDED BIASING GUIDELINES:
For most applications, a dual-bias circuit is required due to the amount of quiescent current drawn by
the FPD3000P100. The Source of the discrete pHEMT device is wire-bonded to the package flange,
and therefore self-biasing (using a bypassed Source resistor to set the Gate-Source voltage) is not
practical. A dual-bias circuit will require a regulated and filtered negative Gate supply as well as a
positive Drain supply. Typical Gate bias voltages will be about -0.4V. Active bias circuits can be
employed if the dissipation by a Drain current sense resistor is acceptable, and in these cases the bias
voltages must be sequenced so that the negative Gate voltage is established at its final value before
the Drain voltage is reached, to prevent device self-oscillation.
