CHA5012
X Band Driver Amplifier
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC Description
The CHA5012 chip is a monolithic twostage medium power amplifier designed for X band applications.
This device is manufactured using a GaInP HBT process, including via holes through the substrate and air bridges.
A nitride layer protects the
transistors and the passive components.
Special heat removal techniques are implemented to guarantee high reliability.
To simplify the assembly process: • the backside of the chip is both RF and DC grounded • bond pads and back side are gold plated for compatibility with eutectic die attach method and thermosonic or thermocompression bonding process.
