Description
The Filtronic LMA110B is a GaAs monolithic distributive amplifier which operates from 0.5 to 8 GHz. This amplifier produces a typical gain of
12.5dB with a noise figure of 3.5dB. The LMA110B is suitable for wide-band low noise gain block, EW and commercial PCN applications. DC
decoupled input and output RF port. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization.

Assembly Diagram
SIMPLE BIAS SCHEME
Notes:
1.) Recommended lead bond technique is thermocompression wedge bonding with 0.001" (25m) diameter wire. The bond
tool force shall be 35-38 gram. Bonding stage temperature shall be 230-240C, heated tool (150-160C) is recommended.
Ultrasonic bonding is not recommended.
2.) The recommended die attach is Ablebond silver epoxy, the stabilize bake temperature is set at 150C for 45 minutes.
3.) Bond on bond or stitch bond acceptable.
4.) Conductor over conductor acceptable. Conductors must not short.
