MGA-425P8

GaAsEnchancement-mode PHEMT
Power Amplifier in 2x2mm2 LPCC Package

Data Sheet
Description

Features

Avago Technologiess MGA-425P8 power amplifier is designed

for wireless application in the 210GHz frequency range. The
PA has a high power efficiency (PAE) achieved through the
use of Avago Technologiess proprietary GaAs Enhancementmode pHEMT process.

Near 50 broadband output match

MGA-425P8 is housed in a miniature 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.75mm 8lead

leadless-plastic-chip-carrier (LPCC) package. The compact footprint, low profile couple with the excellent thermal efficiency
of the LPCC package makes the MGA425P8 an ideal choice as
power amplifier that saves board space.
On-chip bias circuitry allows operation from a single +3.3V
power supply. The output of the amplifier is near to 50 (below 2:1 VSWR) around 4.95.8 GHz. This makes MGA-425P8 an
ideal choice as power amplifier for broadband IEEE 802.11a
system as well as other high performance wireless application
in the 210 GHz frequency range.

13.3 dBm Linear Pout @ 5% EVM
10.3% PAE @ +13.3 dBm Pout
12 dBm Linear Pout @ 3% EVM
7.6% PAE @ + 12 dBm Pout

One external resistor (RBias) is used to set the bias current of

the device over a wide range.

47% PAE @ P1dB

This allows the designer to use the same part in several circuit
positions and tailor the output power/linearity performance,
and current consumption, to suit each position.
