Avago Technologies’ AMMC-6220 is a high gain, low noise amplifier that operates from 6 GHz to 20 GHz. This LNA provides a wide-band solution for system design since it covers several bands, thus, reduces part inventory. The device has input / output match to 50 Ohm, is unconditionally stable and can be used as either primary or sub-sequential low noise gain stage. By eliminating the complex tuning and assembly processes typically required by hybrid (discrete-FET) amplifiers, the AMMC-6220 is a cost-effective alternative in the 6 - 20 GHz communications receivers. The backside of the chip is both RF and DC ground. This helps simplify the assembly process and reduces assembly related performance variations and costs. It is fabricated in a PHEMT process to provide exceptional noise and gain performance. For improved reliability and moisture protection, the die is passivated at the active areas.
