Description

M/A-COM's MA05836 is a 500mW miniature, phase-
locked, FM transmitter module. The MA05836 is ideally
suited for rugged telemetry systems.

The MA05836 contains a shock hardened crystal oscilla-
tor, a silicon on sapphire phase-locked loop, and an
iHBT

VCO and power amplifier, with supply line by-

passing. The module requires only a single, positive
regulated +3.0VDC to +3.3VDC power supply. The
MA05836 has a fully matched (50

W) output network.

M/A-COM's MA05836 is fabricated on standard FR-4
PC board material, employing automatic assembly of the
hybrid technology components (silicon on sapphire,
iHBT

, and SMT). When fully encapsulated, this mod-

ule will easily survive high shock pulses greater than
30,000G. This product is 100% RF tested to ensure com-
pliance to performance specifications.

Handling

Permanent damage to the MA05836 may occur if the following
precautions are not adhered to:

A. Static Sensitivity All die handling equipment and personnel
should comply with DOD-STD-1686 Class I.

B. Transients Avoid instruments and power supply transients
while bias is connected to the MA05836. Use shielded signal
and bias cables to minimize inductive pick-up.

Mounting

DO NOT expose the MA05836 to temperatures greater than
180

C for more than 20 seconds. Higher temperatures may

result in reflow of the Sn63/Pb37 solder used for SMT compo-
nent attach.

Application Notes

M O D

DC connector

The DC connection of the MA05836-XXX is
made thru five single pin connectors. Each pin is a
thru hole of 0.020" diameter. The pin assignments
are shown in the figure below.

The through-hole connector was chosen to allow
freedom in mounting; this connector may be ei-
ther placed or omitted to allow use of other con-
nector types.

RF connector

The RF connector is a standard-sized, through-
hole mounted SSMC connector. To afford user
flexibility, the RF connector can be provided with
the MA05836 unattached to the board.

Channel Selection

The PLL determines the frequency of operation of
the transmitter. The channels available are listed
in the table on page 9. There are 43 frequencies
available, at 1MHz spacing.

The channel selection on the board is performed
through the use of 0402 SMT zero ohm resistors,
connected to the parallel input lines of the PLL.
See the following pages for frequency choices,
and the required resistor positions.
