DESCRIPTION
The TriQuint TGA8035 - SCC is a two - stage GaAs monolithic amplifier designed for use as
a broadband general-purpose gain block. T wo 300 - µm gate - width FETs provide a 13- dB typical gain and
a 5- dB noise figure from 6 to 18- GHz. Typical output power at 1- dB gain compression is 12.5 - dBm.
Shunt feedback is used around each active device to improve gain flatness and standing- wave ratio
(SWR). Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization.
The TGA8035-SCC amplifier is suitable for a variety of broadband electronic warfare (EW) applications.
The combination of gain, power, and noise figure makes this device an exceptional post amplifier
following a low-noise amplifier.
Bond pad and backside metallization is gold plated for compatibility with eutectic alloy attachment
methods as well as thermocompression and thermosonic wire- bonding processes. The TGA8035 - SCC
is supplied in chip form and is readily assembled using automated equipment.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond
those indicated under “RF Characteristics” is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rated conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.
* For operation above 25 C base - plate temperature, derate linearly at the rate of 3 mW/ C.
* Operating channel temperatur e (TCH) directly affects the device MTTF. For maximum life, it is recommended
that channel temperature be maintained at the lowest possible level.
