DESCRIPTION
TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc. • Texas Facilities • (972) 995-8465
The TriQuint TGA8300 - SCC is a GaAs monolithic distributed amplifier designed for use as a
multioctave general - purpose gain block. Four 189 - µm gate width FETs provide 7.5 -dB nominal gain
and 5.5- dB noise figur e from 2 to 18- GHz. Typical power output is 20 - dBm at 1-dB gain compression.
Typical input and output SWRs are 1.5:1. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the
backside metallization.
The TGA8300 - SCC is supplied in chip for m and is engineered for high -volume automated assembly .
All metal sur faces are gold plated to be compatible with ther mocompression and thermosonic
wire - bonding processes.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause per manent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any oth er 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 3.8 mW/ C.
** Operating channel temperatur e directly affects the device MTTF . For maximum life, it is r ecommended that
channel temperature be maintained at the lowest possible level.
