Product Description
Sirenza Microdevices’ SHF-0189 is a high performance AlGaAs/GaAs
Heterostructure FET (HFET) housed in a low-cost surface-mount plastic
package. The HFET technology improves breakdown voltage while minimiz-
ing Schottky leakage current resulting in higher PAE and improved linearity.
Output power at 1dB compression for the SHF-0189 is +27 dBm when
biased for Class AB operation at 8V,100mA. The +40 dBm third order
intercept makes it ideal for high dynamic range, high intercept point require-
ments. It is well suited for use in both analog and digital wireless communi-
cation infrastructure and subscriber equipment including 3G, cellular, PCS,
fixed wireless, and pager systems.
The matte tin finish on Sirenza’s lead-free package utilizes a post anneal-
ing process to mitigate tin whisker formation and is RoHS compliant per EU
Directive 2002/95. This package is also manufactured with green molding
compounds that contain no antimony trioxide nor halogenated fire retar-
dants.
[1] 100% tested - Insertion gain tested using a 50 ohm contact board (no matching circuitry) during final production test.
[2] Sample tested - Samples pulled from each wafer/package lot. Sample test specifications are based on statistical data from sample test measurements. The test fixture is an engineering application circuit board.
The application circuit was designed for the optimum combination of linearity, P1dB, and VSWR.
[3] Maximum recommended power dissipation is specified to maintain T
